How long is the growth cycle of pine?

Pine growth cycle

Depending on the growing environment, there are certain differences, generally more than 15 years. Pine wood is normally planted in March and April, which is the most suitable time for planting. However, the specific sowing time is also different. If it is in some areas in the south, sowing can be done during the Qingming Festival. If it is in the north, it can wait until the warm April.

Pine growth rate

Different pine species have different growth processes. Pinus tabulaeformis, Pinus massoniana and Pinus yunnanensis grow very fast in the early stage, but reach the maturity stage later; the DBH of natural forest Pinus koreaensis grows slowly before 50 years old, and the DBH growth is vigorous between 50 and 100 years old, after which it can still maintain a high growth rate, and only decreases significantly after 200 years; the tree height growth is vigorous at about 100 years old; the maturity age of timber volume is about 300 years old.

Pine growth cycle management

Temperature management: Pine is suitable for growing in an environment with high moisture and suitable temperature (20-40 degrees).

Fertilization management: The commonly used pine fertilizers are various cake fertilizers, such as bean cake fertilizer, rapeseed cake fertilizer, sesame cake fertilizer, etc. Some other inorganic compound fertilizers and slow-release fertilizers can also be used. It is better to apply thin fertilizer for potted pine.
