  • Notes

Pinus lambertiana is an evergreen tree. Tend to be pyramidal in youth, becoming more open or round topped with age. Grow best in full sun and will thrive in most soils that are reasonably well drained.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
