Survival Monkey

A friend bought her Father a monkey puzzle tree. He planted it and it stayed there for 2 years. He has since died and his house sold. My friend has dug up the tree (20/03/08) and wants to replant it when she has the garden space. It is in a pot, in planting compost, exposed to the elements. Since her Father was my friend too then I would love, if any of you Growers out could advise me how to save this plant.

It was dug up bare root, it is about 1mtr high and its roots have been trimmed. It has been put into a large pot, in Asda's potting soil and watered with rain water. It has had some more of that from the sky today, and it is going to get cold and windy. I have supported it with some dead branches, but I do fear for it. Does anyone have any ideas as how to save it. Or do I take cuttings ???

Monkey Puzzle tree ( Chilean Pine ) will survive in a pot large enough to take the roots, make sure the pot has drainage holes and keep it out of the very cold winds you could put some bracken and dead branches around the outside of the pot, taking cuttings of this tree is difficult and is not likely to succeed unless you have the experience needed, when it replanted make sure that it has plenty of room as it can grow VERY tall, as it's such a beautiful tree it's well worth the effort, but remember it's a slow grower.

How will Keith fare in comparison to his human ancestors in the fight for survival this week? Can Keith manage to fend for himself?

should i start right away or shall i wait. and how do I do it. i just heard that it's crucail to their survival

now, and all the time.

we get constant oxygen from trees, they need constant oxygen from you.

get an air-aiter that sits in the bottom of the tank, if it's big enough.

If the Great warm up wiped out the mammoth and lead unto the Elephant, no question there. All that proves is that there are no mammoths anymore. So why are there still monkeys since if Darwin's theory is true about survival of the fittest? Mankind should have put shame to the monkey by now.

Your question would imply that the primates of today are the same as those in mankind's evolutionary past! Evolution is a process that all organisms undergo at different paces, due to various influences in their environment upon the population! When mankind's ancestors were around, Chimpanzees, Gorillas, Orangatangs, etc were not, at least not as we know them today (as evolution has acted to shape their current phenotype as well) Similiar creatures however were around back then/ These either died out, became one of the many sub-species of man (which either died out or interbred with the population that became modern man), or evolved into modern day apes!

Our ancestors were probably chimplike, but due to either predation, deforestation, who knows what forces or combination thereof, began to walk upright and live in what was likely a great plains environment. They adapted to use their brains more, and created tools, weapons for hunting, etc. And through time and continued change, we are the result. If we indeed did evolve from the same ancestor as the chimpanzee, their segment of the population obviously was not influenced by the same environmental forces.

Likewise, if something were to happen to mankind, say a disease or other natural disaster, but leaft these other current primates unharmed, their desendants might one day yield a population of creatures very similar to man, depending on how they adapt to the various evolutionary forces acting upon them through time.

Would you rather be in a zoo where people where stopping and checking you out all day where you were provided with 3 squares a day?

Or

Would you rather be in the wild where you might be eaten by a predator, your survival was up to you, and you weren't guaranteed anything which you couldn't take care of yourself?

Freedom or prison? hmmmm Actually, there are good points for each and you named them all. I'd probably choose prison because I would rather live knowing that if I got sick I would be taken to a vet and knowing that I'd have plenty to eat.
