Ground grown pines

Post by Dutchie_Boy »

I have a number of pines, JBP, Scots and Pondarosa, that I have been ground growing for a number of years. I am planning on commencing the next phase of their development this season. My question is, when should I start to dig them up? The trees are located in Ipswich Queensland.

Thanks in advance.

I have had one in the ground for several years and I lift and replace it in winter.
Do tr3ees in the ground the same time you do those in pots is my motto
