Pinus contorta - Lodgepole pine

Feed Pinus contorta : Let’s avoid fertilizing trees too often; we can enrich the soil with organic fertilizer when planting, then we’ll act again every 2-3 years, in autumn or at the end of the winter.

continental : Let's grow the The Pinus contorta where it can enjoy as many hours as possible of direct sunlight.
These plants can be located in the garden during the whole year; they can stand minimum temperatures many degrees below zero.

alpine : Plant which needs to be exposed to direct sunrays.
Autumn climate usually isn’t very harsh, in any case these plants can even bear very prolonged freezing, therefore they can be grown in the garden during any season.

mediterranean : Locate the The in a sunny place, where it can receive direct solar rays for at least a few hours a day.
These plants can stand the cold and can also stand very harsh minimum temperatures.

continental : We recommend watering only when the ground has been dry for days, about every 4-5 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water; let’s also avoid exposing our plants to rain.

alpine : It’s not necessary to water too often; we can act from time to time with 0-1 buckets of water every 5-6 weeks, moistening the ground.

mediterranean : Water from time to time using 2-3 buckets of water, letting the soil dry for 3-4 weeks before watering again; it’s best to leave the soil dry for a longer time lapse, rather than wetting more than needed.
