Went into my local B+Q to purchase a potted Christmas Tree, with the
intention of planting it out in the garden latter. ALL the
trees(varieties) had on the label"Not suitable for replanting
outdoors". Why is this ??

Probably because after a few weeks in a centrally heated home, it is
unlikely to survive? And/or because if it does succeed - and it did in
my parents' garden many moons ago, so it can succeed - the tree gets
far too big far too quick for the average suburban garden?

Of course, there may be other reasons.
