Italian Stone Pine
 

Hello everyone,

I was given a small potted Italian pine as a gift and I want to plant
it outside if possible.

I did a little googling but couldn't find info on when and how to
transplant from a pot to the outdoors.

I'm near Richmond Virginia and I'm not sure it will survive outside,
especially if I try to plant it outside now.

Any advice and info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

VV

Not really, unless it was from a HD and was left outside, it could
have hardened itself off. But, if you have had it indoors since u got
it, then I wouldn't try to put it out. I read somewhere that they were
only to 42 deg....

Take a look at this paper:

Take a special look at the second page which shows the potential range
of the Italian Stone Pine and make sure you live within (or at least
near) it's potential range. If so, transplant it early spring, after
the danger of a hard freeze has passed but don't wait too late as it
need to establish itself before any hot dry weather occurs.
