Monterey Pine

Common name:Monterey Pine
Botanical name:Pinus radiata

The Pinus radiata is an evergreen with an incredibly fast growth rate. It survives well in coastal areas and in well drained soils. With age, the tree drops its lower branches, thus producing a rounded, flat crown. Pines are highly combustible plants.

Soils and Compost:

Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.

Integrated Pest Management:

Remove irrigation water and fertilizer from areas where you don't want weeds to grow.
