ps

also this terrifies me.
it was about 1.5m tall in a 2litre pot when she planted it in a tonne of manure and it has been tied to the top of a six foot fence.
they plan to let it grow as a full tree.

no matter how many times I tell her about the possible danger this poses she tells me I am being melodramatic and she just doesn't believe the thing about the roots not growing properly.

pps

when this gets bigger will its water needs start to kill all my plants near by aswell?

Thatis gonna cause a lot of problems. Too close to the house, it will certainly break the fence and suck a lot of water out of the ground.

To close to the fence but if planted right the roots shouldn't be a problem, they don't all fall over in the wild its cultivation practice that is needed.
