Can I Stunt A Norfolk Island Pine?

Question

I live in Florida and have a Norfolk Island Pine that I bought in 2019, that is now 6′ tall. We live in a recreational vehicle, so it lives outdoors, and is thriving. I would like to keep it at this height, because it is getting difficult to move around. And it is a perfect. It is root bound and needs to be transplanted, but really heavy. Would really appreciate a response. Have no idea what to do. I have seen some that were planted in this state years ago that are over 30′, and they look gangly.

Answer 1
