It is recommended to carry out this procedure in the fall or early spring. When determining the place for planting a pine tree, you need to consider its distance to the house and power lines, since the tree grows quite tall.
It is desirable that the pine tree be located at least 5 m from these objects. It is best to plant this tree in a sunny clearing or a slightly shaded area.
In order for the pine tree to feel good on your home territory, it is very important to properly remove the seedling from the ground. You will need a shovel, water and a piece of textile. First of all, you need to measure the size of the lump of earth near the roots, which is approximately equal to the span of the lower branches. Next, you should dig deep from all sides and carefully pull the seedling out of the hole along with the lump of earth. The fabric should be thoroughly moistened with water and wrapped around the root system of the pine. It is necessary to deliver the tree to a new place and plant it as soon as possible, since the pine root will die in about 15 minutes in the air.
The width of the planting hole should be one and a half times the size of the tree roots with a lump of earth. A drainage layer consisting of sand, pebbles and fertile soil is placed at the very bottom of the hole. Then 0.5 kg of humus is poured. It will help protect the roots of the young pine from burns. Soil is poured on top, the thickness of the layer should be about 10 cm. After this, the soil is moistened with water, the seedling is placed in the hole and covered with soil, and then the soil around it is mulched with organic matter. If a sunlit area was chosen for planting, then it is recommended to slightly shade the seedling until the root system is completely strengthened.
