Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Pinus prefer slightly acidic soil. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in heavier soils.
How to Water
Water young Pinus regularly until established, ensuring the soil stays moist but not soggy. Once mature, they are drought-tolerant but still benefit from deep watering during dry spells.
How to Plant
Plant Pinus in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the tree in the hole, and backfill with soil. Water well after planting and mulch to conserve moisture.
