I have a stand of large white pine where I've lost several over the years from wind and tornado's. Will these seedlings be able to grow among the mature trees or do they require full sun?
Question by: Marilyn Ellis on Oct 3, 2020, 11:56 AM
White pine are pretty resilient little trees. If they will have at least partial sun during the day, they will grow up amidst the tall trees. As in nature, the young seedlings grow in the under story of the larger tree canopy. They may not be as full and be more thin and wispy, but should be fine unless it is full dense shade.

Are seedlings and transplants both bare root, or does a transplant have a plug?
Question by: Nick Preus on Nov 26, 2020, 12:28 PM
Both seedlings and transplants are bare root, the length of time in the planting bed is what determines if it is a seedling or transplant. The transplant does not have a plug. We also offer Conifer plugs that are sold by the full box in a different product area.

If I desired to plant 3 - 4 rows of these white pine as both a wind break, and wildlife cover, what would be the desired spacing between rows and trees themselves.
Question by: Mitch Almeter on Oct 17, 2021, 3:09 PM
For windbreaks, plant them in a double or triple row, leaving 8-15 feet between the rows and approximately 10 feet apart in the row.

I'm concerned about roots near surface or above ground (cutting grass or tripping while walking near trees) as trees matures. Can you elaborate on the root system?
Question by: Debbie on Mar 29, 2022, 12:33 PM
White pine has a shallow spreading root system, without a taproot.

How wide will white pine get at maturity if planted close together for a windbreak?
Question by: Christopher Wright on Dec 13, 2022, 8:31 PM
The white pine width at maturity can be between 20-40' wide. If planting for a privacy screen you would want to plant them approximately 1/2 the maturity width apart, We do recommend 2-3 stagger rows for the best coverage.
