Pine trees are evergreen, coniferous resinous trees. Some can grow to 80 m tall, with the majority of species reaching 15–45 m tall.

P. densiflora 'Low Glow' is a slow growing mound forming pine which is easy to grow in most soils and ideal for rockeries or front of the border. Dislikes hot climates and cold hardy.

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Dig out an area for the tree that is about 3 or 4 times the diameter of the container or rootball and the same depth as the container or rootball. Use a pitchfork or shovel to scarify the sides of the hole.If container-grown, lay the tree on its side and remove the container. Loosen the roots around the edges without breaking up the root ball too much. Position tree in center of hole so that the best side faces forward. You are ready to begin filling in with soil. Create a water ring around the outer edge of the hole. Not only will this conseve water, but will direct moisture to perimeter roots, encouraging outer growth. Once tree is established, water ring may be leveled.
