Answer 2

I really wish someone had answered this. I can tell you mine has been in that pot for 1-2 months and absolutely nothing is happening. I read somewhere that they need a cold period. I think that person said that it was a good idea to plant it in a pot, put it in the fridge (or was it freezer?) for 3 months in winter and take it out in spring. I may try that next year. If you get real winters where you live, maybe you can just leave the pot out over winter?

Christmas trees come in different sizes, and of course, the larger the size, the longer it took for the tree to grow to that size. But typically a Christmas tree takes 7 years to mature.
