watering
Japanese red pine needs regular watering to ensure growth and health. Depending on the temperature and humidity in your area, they should be watered 1-2 times a week from spring to autumn. In hotter climates, water every 3-4 days. Make sure the soil is kept moist, but not soggy. In extreme heat, water them more often. During wintertime, water should only be given when the soil is dry to the touch.
sunlight
Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora 'Umbraculifera') prefers full sun, meaning it should receive 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. This species is very tolerant of both heat and cold and will perform best when planted in an area that receives full sun. In areas with hot summers, it can tolerate some dappled shade. This species should be kept free of competing vegetation to ensure adequate sunlight for proper growth.
pruning
Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora 'Umbraculifera') should be pruned lightly and infrequently. Pruning is best done during the tree's dormant season, in late winter. Major pruning should be avoided, as the tree tends to not recover easily from large cuts. If pruning must be done, it should be done gradually and in small increments over a few years. Cuts should be made just above a healthy bud and the branch should be removed completely. Dead and diseased branches should also be removed when possible.
