Cultivation Plum pine
These plants are cone-trees, so their foliage is made up of needle-like leaves. When growing these plants tend to go up, developing very little in width, and they tend to have a columnar development. Plum pine Is an evergreen; during spring iIt assumes a green colouring; the adult specimens are medium in size and reach 10 m high.

Light Plum pinePosizione mezza ombra
Avoid excessively sunny places; we suggest to put the The in a partially shady spot. These plants are rustic in the areas with a Mediterranean climate, therefore they can be grown outside.If a tree with a very thin trunk is put in shelter, it could be useful to secure it to a solid stake, which can keep it erect, and protect it from the damage caused by strong winds.

Water Plum pineTenere Umido
Water regularly, every 2-3 weeks , wetting the soil deeply with about 2-3 buckets of water ,but waiting for the substratum to dry completely between one watering and another; avoid leaving stagnant water. We should pay particular attention to those plants which have been recently placed in shelter; during the years, trees develop a cospicuous radical apparatus, and need watering only if the climate is particularly dry.

Pests Plum pine
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Mold Plum pine
Locate these trees in a soil with average drainage, which slightly withholds humidity.
