This plant in the spring, summer, autumn, winter assumes a green colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 15 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Lodgepole pine develops growing in height, and develops a bare stem, creating a thick crown. The Lodgepole pine develops like a conifer. Fertilization Lodgepole pine
Trees tend to find a great part of nutrients in the soil, because their roots spread more than ten metres; in any case it is advisable to feed the soil with amendants, to guarantee a good quantity of mineral salts; every 2-3 years, in the spring or autumn, we suggest adding to the soil at the feet of the trunk, about a bucket of mature organic fertilizer. Exposure Lodgepole pine

The Lodgepole pine plant can be grown in the garden throughout the whole year. It doesn't fear cold weather and it bears very harsh minimum temperatures. For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Lodgepole pine in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight.During the winter young plants could need a light protection from the wind or cold; when putting the very young specimens, with a thin stem, in shelter, we should provide them with a high stake to keep them erect. Watering Lodgepole pine

We suggest watering pretty often and regularly, with 2-3 buckets of water ; we should always wait for the soil to be clearly dry between one watering and the other. During this time of year usually it is necessary to irrigate every 2-3 weeks . The young specimens, recently sheltered, need more cures compared to the adult specimens: as the years go by the development of a good radical apparatus allows the plant to be satisfied with the rain, without needing other waterings. Treatments Lodgepole pine
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden. Soil Lodgepole pine
These trees love quite soft, not too drained, soils.
