Plant black pine in the garden
The black pine is an impressive conifer that also looks interesting in the garden with its spreading and not so regular growth. However, it can get very tall and old.
If you decide to have a black pine in your garden, then you should keep in mind that this tree can grow up to 30 meters high. So look for a planting area that does justice to the black pine.
Prepare the garden for planting
- Find a spot where your black pine has enough room to grow without having to be replanted in a few years.
- Plant the Conifer only in late summer or early autumn, when the summer heat is over.
- This pine prefers loose, sandy soil that should be well drained. Because the black pine belongs to the deep-rooted species.
- The place for your pine shouldn't be too shady, it can also stand well-sunny locations.
- Of course, pay attention to the nearby buildings.
- Dig a hole that is at least twice as deep and large as the root ball of your tree.
- Before you put your black pine in the ground, give it a quick one-stop watering.
- Then fill the planting hole with loose, humus-rich soil and carefully press the soil into place. There should be no air holes, but no roots should be broken off either.
- Build a so-called pouring wall around your tree with the filled soil so that the water can seep away directly to the roots.
- Now water your black pine well.
