Other large pine over 30 years old home grown from seed

30 years...wow thats taken some dedication....

Yes Sandra, started off in a very small pot, then root pruning and top pruning, repotting and feeding, proper water soaking now and again of the pot especially when its hot and dry, but all worth it.

i did start some years ago..but the poor things were soo neglected a few of the died..so i planted out the rest. it takes dedication..

Because the trees haven't much in the way of soil, they have to be watered properly in dry spells.
