Description

Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata) grows into a majestic evergreen tree with long green needles that are wonderfully soft and tactile. The needles are complemented by large pine cones that can reach up to 17cm in length. Pinus radiata is particularly suitable for medium to large gardens and grow best in well-drained soil in a sunny position. It is a reasonably vigorous conifer and you can expect it to grow to 8 x 5 metres (height x spread) in 20 years and, in optimum conditions it can eventually reach a height of over 30 metres.

Monterey Pine is adapted to thrive after forest fires, with the heat triggering the cones to open and disperse seeds for regeneration.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
