Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your Ponderosa Pine Tree in a spot in your yard that gets 4 hours of sun each day. Choose a place in your yard that has moderate soil that’s well-draining. Then, dig a hole that's large enough to accommodate the root ball, place your tree in the hole carefully, and backfill the soil.
Place a layer of pine needles or mulch around the base for moisture retention. Also, be sure the soil is firm after planting. If you can pull the tree out once it is planted, you need to pack the soil more tightly.
2. Watering: Water once a week during the first year. Then, there's no need to water the Ponderosa Pine Tree unless you are going through a period of drought. This tree is very drought-resistant.
3. Pruning: Prune your tree in the winter or fall and keep only the branches at the top two-thirds of the tree. This will help your tree grow straighter and become more disease-resistant. Immediately prune any diseased branches.
