Green Penguin Scotch Pine Tree

The Green Penguin Pine is a charming evergreen that adds a unique touch to any garden with its dense, bushy foliage and delightful, whimsical shape.

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a site with well-drained soil and full sun exposure to promote healthy growth. Dig a hole that is just as deep and twice as wide as the root ball. Position the plant so that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil before backfilling.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, the 'Green Penguin' is relatively drought-tolerant, needing water only during extended dry spells.

3. Pruning: Light pruning can be done to maintain its shape, but it's generally not required. Remove any dead or damaged branches as needed, particularly in the spring.

4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy growth, following the manufacturer's recommendations for application rates.
