Planting and Care Instructions
-
Planting:
Ideally it is best to plant in fall or spring, but it is possible to plant in the winter time as the lodgepole pine can tolerate a wide vary of temperatures. Avoid planting when the ground is frozen. These trees are hearty but still don’t like the freezing temperatures when there roots are still establishing. If planting in the winter time, to protect these young trees, use sticks or stakes to prop the tree up. To prevent from freezing, wrap in a vinyl guard or tree wrap.
When planting, dig hole that is as deep as the root system and about 3 inches wider that the roots width.
Water:
When newly planted, water every couple days to keep soil moist but not soggy. After a month, water weekly unless in rains or snows in the duration of that week.
Sun:
Once planted, allow tree to get at least 4-6 hours of sun per day.
Fertilize:
Fertilize trees monthly with a fertilizer rich in phosphorus to promote better root development.
Tips
*Using filtered or Reverse Osmosis water for these trees is very much recommended!!
