When is the best time to transplant black pine?

To transplant black pine, you have to wait until it sprouts new leaves. In the first 2-3 days of transplanting, you should properly prune the branches and cut off all the old branches and leaves to avoid affecting the growth of the black pine after transplanting. In addition, it is best to have a soil ball on the roots of the black pine stump during transplanting so that the black pine can grow better after transplanting.

Transplanting time of black pine

The best time to transplant black pine is in spring every year, so that the survival rate of transplantation is relatively high. In addition, the seedlings can be transplanted in mid-November to February or March of the following year. It is not suitable to transplant the seedlings after the buds of black pine open, and the survival rate is very low. It is best to transplant in March.

Transplanting method of black pine

When transplanting black pine, you need to deal with broken roots. First, shake the trunk to check the distribution of the roots, then carefully dig out the surface soil, and cut off the horizontal roots after digging them out. This will make it easier to dig them out later without damaging too many roots. Then apply healing agent on the wound of the dug plant and you can transplant it.

Management after transplanting black pine

Do not rush to water the black pine after transplanting. Wait until the wound heals before watering it. This way the root system can absorb water better and facilitate rooting and germination. Generally, it can be watered 3-4 days after transplanting. However, if it is a transplanted seedling, it must be watered thoroughly in time after being potted, but be careful not to expose it to light.
