Plant Care

The Bergman Japanese White Pine is relatively low-maintenance once established. Regular watering is essential during the first growing season to develop a deep root system. Pruning is minimal and should focus on removing dead or damaged branches. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Fertilize sparingly in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.

Planting Instructions

Select a location with adequate sunlight and well-draining soil. 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 the plant in the hole, ensuring it sits at the same level as it did in the container. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch, keeping it away from the trunk.
