Hey Pineys - first off I am a mostly maple guy and have no experience with pines. So please be kind. I saw this pine in the "yard waste" pile on the curb on my way home from work this afternoon. I cleaned it up a bit and it looks like it might have some potential...at least it will be a learning opportunity for me. While it has been a mild autumn thus far here in the lower Hudson Valley, NY that is about to change so I need to determine what I need to do now to help this one survive.
There is an okay root ball, it still has some burlap around it. Soil sucks, looks like clay.
So do I pull off whats left of the burlap? Do I just stick it in the ground and mulch it heavily or is it better to put it into a large grow pot or box and "garage" it over the winter along with my maples? I am also thinking it best to let it recover for a year before attacking the roots to any degree as well. Can I start to wire up some of the branches now, or just wait it out until next spring or beyond. Any idea what kind of pine this is and is it worth playing around with?
Thanks in advance!
