Potted bottle tree okay to trim?

by SausageTreeSlim <SausageTreeSlim.2af7606@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 25, 2008 at 08:01 PM

Hello everyone,

I'm in the UK and and about five years ago I bought a small Queensland
bottle tree (Brachychiton rupestris) from a garden centre and it's been
growing happily in a pot in my front room since then.

As it now stands about 2 metres tall it's reached the ceiling and run
out of room to grow upwards - can anyone advise me if I can trim the
top off without damaging its health?

Or alternatively, would it be happy outdoors from now on? - I think I
read somewhere that they can survive occasional frosts, and UK winters
tend not to be all that harsh now.

Many thanks in advance for any help :)
