Default How to sell a monkey puzzle


"Stephen Gower" wrote in message
...
We've just bought a new (to us) house in Oxford, which has an
almost empty garden, except for a 6' Monkey Puzzle tree, which we
want to get rid of - it's not to our taste anyway, but we've got
two kids under 3, and we'd rather not have to fence off a bit of
the garden to keep them away from those spikey leaves. So, two
questions: where should we think about advertising to get the best
price for this, and is there anything we need to do to in
particular to make moving this successful?


Advertise it on Freecycle and just get rid of it. The recipient will be
doing you a favour.
I've been hoovering loads of plants from my local Freecycle including a 6
foot cordyline and several other shrubs.
