we have got a pine tree happily growing in a pot outside for a
couple of years now. Its now about 1.4 metres high and I think
this picture is the same type of tree.

We would like to bring it in over christmas and decorate it.
It would be near a southfacing window in a living room. We
have central heating so the temperature would for the most part
be about 21 C.

What would be the maximum length of time we could keep it in
these conditions before it got seriously upset do you think?

An uncle of mine used the same potted Christmas tree for several
years, it always came in on Christmas eve and went back out after
twelfth night. He even kept it pruned to fit the corner of the
room!!
