When your pine is about a foot tall, it’s time to find its forever home. Pick a spot with full sun and good drainage. Avoid putting it under a power line unless you want to explain to the utility crew why your “forest” is shorting out the neighborhood.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper. Pines are afraid of depths—they like to sit high, like a kid on a kitchen counter. Gently lower the tree in, backfill with dirt, and give it a solid drink of water.
Then, you stand back and realize you just planted a living time capsule. That little stick will be a dinosaur long after you’re gone. No pressure.
