Hi,

Last summer, among the beetroot and other veggies in my back garden in Oxford UK, I planted a 'Goldcrest cedar' (not sure what this is exactly). It's grown maybe an inch or two and is currently about 18 inches high.

Someone asked me whether it will one day shoot up and become too big. I couldn't say for sure, so I thought I'd seek help. Attached is a picture. The soil is at least a couple feet deep (who knows exactly, I can dig and dig), between a concrete shed foundation (foreground) and an asphalt drive behind the fence (background). The water table is fine -- though the garden was flooded in Summer 2007 by about 8 inches when we had a lot of rain.

Any help appreciated -- the question is, "how many metres tall can a Goldcrest cedar grow?"

Thank you,

Mark
