More Info
These Christmas tree cultivars, Radiata Pine, tend to remain more bushy. They also require less pruning and maintenance to achieve the desired shape.
What you need to do:
+Map out your planting location for 40 seedlings. Space per tree is 3-4 metres. Tip: ensure your vehicle can drive around the plantation perimeter and between the row of trees.
+ Plant directly into the field or pot up upon arrival. 140mm pots are ideal for these seedlings to thrive for up to one year.
+ Plant directly in the paddock in cool conditions, or pot up and grow for a year to get your trees ahead of the weeds and give them time to adapt to your climate.
+ Avoid fertilising in the first few months after planting, as this can burn seedlings.
+ Radiata pines are very vigorous growers and, once established, will need little watering or fertiliser.
+ Keep weeds down around the tree for at least the first year and water in well after planting until established.
+ Pines like gentle slopes or hilly terrain with good drainage, and I hate wet feet. Avoid boggy or very clayey soils in landscape depressions or drainage lines.
+ They thrive on acidic soils and will tolerate lightly alkaline soil. Trees are frost tolerant down to -10’C and will tolerate hot conditions provided they do not dry out.
+ Trees will need regular pruning to maintain a dense Christmas tree shape, as they grow very fast.
