Discover the beauty of Pinus patula, also known as Mexican Weeping Pine. This striking tree is native to Mexico and can grow up to 100 ft tall. It is moderately drought-tolerant, making it a great addition to warm temperate areas. The grass-green needles, slender and gracefully hanging leaves, and cones up to 4.5" make it a stunning tree to behold. Pinus patula is cultivated for its timber in many areas of the world, including South Africa, India, and the United Kingdom, where it is widely used as an ornamental tree. The seedling we supply is at present about 6 to 8 inches tall but should reach 18 inches by Autumn.
Instruction for buyers of Mexican Weeping Pine
Upon receipt keep in the 5 inch pot until settled, or until you feel you can take out the root ball from the pot without disturbance. When ready you should transfer to a bigger pot. Keep free from competing weeds and never allow to completely dry out, water logging should also be avoided. Do not be tempted to keep in the greenhouse when the warm weather comes as this may harm the saplings via scorching. However the greenhouse will be good during frosty times until the plant is older. Trees will perform best raised outdoors in full sunny position. These grow very quickly and will continue to need re-potting. As regards compost a good multi purpose compost will do but as the tree grows they would prefer a soil or compost which is a little acidic.
