Monkey Puzzle Tree
Question:
I have a monkey puzzle tree approximately 30 years old and now standing at 30 feet high. Is it possible to cut the top few feet off to stop it growing any taller without harming it? I definitely don't want to harm the tree but it is getting a bit too tall.
Answer:
Cutting off the top of the tree won't do it any harm but it will spoil the natural look of the tree so you need to decide if that is acceptable. Monkey Puzzle Trees can grow to 150ft in time so you may want to consider getting rid of it now before it gets too big for the site.
