How do you grow a red pine tree?
The best growth of red pine occurs on deep, loose, very well drained loamy sands or gravels. Natural red pine stands are not found on loamy soils. If your planting site is on heavy soils, the competition from hardwoods, grass, shrubs, etc. may kill the young pine seedlings.
How do you grow Japanese red pine seeds?
For faster germination, soak the seeds in slightly hot water for 24-48 hours, followed by 4-6 weeks cold stratification before sowing at 1/4" deep in sterile gardening soil. Keep damp soil, not soaking wet. Keep pot in warm situation, 68-75°F. Germination usually occurs several months.
