Pinus (Pine Tree)

Pine Trees are a broad genus from mostly the northern hemisphere. The Mediterranean pine trees are good container plants or bonsai plants for any well drained soil. Keep plants in full sun throughout the year. None are reliable winter hardy and thus they are best grown under frostfree conditions in full sun throughout the year at a minimum of some 5°C in winter.
Sow seeds flat in any very well drained, rather inorganic soil (i.e. on a basis of lava or crushed sand). Keep pots at some 5°C to 10° at night and some 20°C to 35°C at day. These oscilliating temperatures will significantly enhance the germination process. Keep seedlings always in full sun and slightly drier in winter.
All are USDA Climate Zone 9.
