Planting pine seedlings
In order for a stately pine tree to develop from your seedlings, a certain amount of care is required. Below are some helpful tips for the healthy growth of your conifer.
The preparation
Before you plant your seedlings, you should think about garden design. Once your pine tree has grown a certain size and is used to the location, you could disrupt its growth by repositioning the conifer. The age limit of a pine tree is five years. Planning therefore saves you a lot of time and effort. Pay attention to the light irradiation as well as the soil conditions of the selected location. Fortunately, a pine tree is very undemanding in this regard.
Instructions for planting
Here's how to go about planting your pine seedlings:
- loosen the soil and remove the weeds if necessary
- place the seedlings on the surface in advance so that you can estimate the distance
- Water the seedlings well and soak the root ball in water for some time
- while the root ball is soaking up water, dig the holes
- now put the young pine in the ground
- In the first few weeks you should pay attention to more water
Tips
Young pine seedlings are still susceptible to pest infestation. For protection, it is advisable to plant certain accompanying crops that deter predators. Spinach and mustard give off an intense aroma that keeps many animals away.
