소나무 타에다 씨앗

Soil type: Thrives in acidic, moist but well-drained loamy or clay soils; tolerates poor soils but dislikes alkaline conditions.

Watering frequency: Moderate; consistent moisture is preferred during establishment, becoming drought-tolerant once mature.

Light exposure: Requires full sun; best growth occurs with at least 6 hours of direct light daily.

Temperature requirements: Grows well between 10–32°C (50–90°F); tolerates mild frosts and short freezes.

Fertilization: Apply balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring for young trees; mature trees often do not need feeding.

Pruning: Light pruning to shape or remove dead limbs in winter; avoid excessive cutting as it may stress the tree.

Common pests: Susceptible to pine beetles, fusiform rust, and needle blight in stressed or dense plantings.

Other practices: Plant with adequate spacing to reduce disease risk. Deep mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect roots.
