How long is the growth cycle of Pinus tabulaeformis

Introduction to the growth of Pinus tabulaeformis

Pinus tabulaeformis is a strongly sun-loving tree with strong adaptability. It can tolerate drought and thin soil, but is afraid of waterlogging. It grows at an altitude of 100-2600 meters and is distributed in southern Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and Sichuan provinces in China.

Growth cycle of Pinus tabulaeformis

Pinus tabulaeformis is a light-loving, deep-rooted tree species that prefers a dry, cool, sunny environment. It grows well in deep, fertile, well-drained acidic and neutral soils.

The growth cycle of Pinus tabulaeformis is more than 60 years.

Growth rate of Pinus tabulaeformis

Pinus tabulaeformis grows very fast in the early stage, but the growth rate slows down when it enters the mature stage in the later stage. Before 5 years old, the height and diameter of the plant grow slowly. At 5-20 years old, it will enter the peak growth period.

Growth cycle management of Pinus tabulaeformis

The growth rate of Pinus tabulaeformis is medium. It starts to grow faster 4-5 years after planting and slows down after 30 years.

Temperature management: Pinus tabulaeformis prefers a warm environment, but is also cold-resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius. It can adapt to the continental climate and can grow normally in places with an annual precipitation of only 300 mm. It grows vigorously in places with higher annual precipitation.

Fertilization management: When planting Pinus tabulaeformis, base fertilizer can be applied. Topdressing can be done one year after transplantation. If the tree height is below 3.5 meters, use tray fertilizer. If the tree height is above 3.5 meters, use foliar fertilizer.
