Scotch pine

Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris 'Fastigiata') should be watered thoroughly once or twice per week. A good rule of thumb is to water the plant until the soil around it is moist to a depth of about 6 inches. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot. While the plant is actively growing in the spring and summer, it may need more frequent watering. Remember to check the moisture level of the soil around the plant before watering.

Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris 'Fastigiata') is a species of evergreen conifer that can survive in a wide range of climates. This species of tree requires full sunlight for maximum growth. For the best growth, it needs 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. While Scotches pines can tolerate partial shade, prolonged exposure to too much shade can stunt their growth and reduce their lifespan. They should be planted in locations with full sun exposure for the majority of the day.

Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris 'Fastigiata') is an evergreen conifer that requires little maintenance and can thrive in a variety of conditions. Pruning is not necessary for Scotch pines as they naturally have a conical shape that does not need to be modified. If desired, however, light pruning in the summer months can be done to keep the plant’s size in check and to maintain its shape. The ideal time to prune a Scotch pine is in late spring or early summer when the tree is actively growing. Some light pruning can be beneficial in removing dead or unruly branches which will help promote healthy growth. Pruning should be done carefully to avoid damaging the tree, and it is important to always use clean, sharp tools to ensure a better and more thorough job.
