Complete Product Information for Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 20-40cm
the Monterey Pine is not very tolerant of cold hardy, so we do not recommend them for the North or Scotland - choose Scots Pine instead. Apart from that, they will do well anywhere apart from chalky soil (Austrian pine is the one for chalk) or polluted areas. They love exposed sites on the coast and mature trees are immune to even the worst droughts.

The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root.

Cell grown plants can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September, October, March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. In fact, unlike bare root, you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60% of the world`s forestry trees are now cell grown!
