Dear Julie,

If the 'Norfolk Pine Tree' is the Aracauria heterophylla, native to our Australian climes, you have a tree
that has the potential to grow to 120' tall. So beware if you decide to plant it in your garden.
Any container that you choose will eventually become to small as the tree becomes pot bound.
But to your question. The tree is native to Norfolk Island, which is located off the east coast of Australia.
Please refer to http://www.anbg.gov.au/norfolk.gardens/norfolk.loc.gif
Use good quality potting mix with an all purpose granular fetilizer, with the tree located in full sun.

Regards
