I have a rather large monkey puzzle tree in my back garden. There are currently many bulbs that are growing at the tops of the tree, i would like to know if its possible to grow them into trees, and how i would go about doing so?

The message

these words:

I'd sell it to Kew quickly - it must be unique.

Your "bulb" is probably a cone and even then highly unlikely to produce
seeds in the UK, though I have known an exception. It is possible to
propagate from terminal cuttings and this was discussed during Chelsea~~ ~ I
find it the most undesirable of all trees with nothing in its favour. I
have/had a dozen supposedly planted in 1832 and find them ugly to an
extreme.

No it isn't.

We used to holiday on the northumberland coast, near lindisfarne.
In a wood close to the cottage, is a section of self seeded monkey
puzzles in various stages of development and thriving well. An earlier
landowner must have planted out the original but now the colony is happily
spreading.
