Many people have to post pictures in this comment section below their original post. Use the 'Photo' button below the text box and give the pic time to fully load (which can take a minute or two) before hitting the Submit button. :-)

Here's from the Silvics manual:

" Shoot growth is equally slow at high elevations. Many first-year seedlings are less than 2.5 cm (I in) tall. Annual height growth of seedlings during the first 10-15 years usually averages less than 2.5 cm (1 in). In one study, seedlings 15 years old averaged only 28 cm (11 in) in height on burned-over slopes, 25 cm (10 in) on cutover, dry slopes, and 15 cm (6 in) on cutover, wet flats (30). In another study, seedlings grown on mineral soil averaged only 58.8 cm (24 in) after 21 years (28). Trees reach 1.2 to 1.5 in (4 to 5 ft) in height in 20 to 40 years under favorable environmental conditions. However, trees less than 13 cm (5 in) in diameter are often 100 or more years old at higher elevations, and trees 1.2 to 1.8 m (4 to 6 ft) high and 35 to 50 years old are common under closed-forest conditions (40,51).

At lower elevations, seedling shoot growth has been better. In one study in the Intermountain West, average annual height growth of subalpine fir seedlings for the first 10 years after release was 11.4 cm (4.5 in) on clearcuts and 8.1 cm (3.2 in) on partial cuts (48). "

Beautiful tree you have there.

What are the plans for it? Container grown?

edit: The pot it's in looks a little small...

Once my wife and I buy a house it will definitely go in the ground. Seems I have a few more years!

I was actually wondering if I should up pot it this year. Good to hear from someone else on the matter.

I'm not an expert and that tree might be fine for a while yet in that pot. You could tip the whole root ball out and examine things. Either way I think it would help with the growth you're after to up pot. I can't say what the ideal time would be to do that. If you can slide it out of the pot in one piece, I think you can do it anytime because you're not disturbing the roots to any extent.
