Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Not a particularly fussy tree it will survive almost anyywhere, though like a lot of conifers it will not do well on very wet ground. It does need space however and is not suited to small gardens. Nor should it be planted within 30 meters of buildings or underground service pipes. It is prone to losing some needles when planted, though these will grow them back within a year.
