Plant Care
The Albyn Prostrate Scots Pine is remarkably low-maintenance once established. This hardy conifer requires minimal pruning, typically only to remove dead or damaged branches. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weed growth, but keep it away from the trunk to prevent rot.
Planting Instructions
Plant in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the plant, avoiding contact with the trunk.
