Caring for new conifers-- Limber pine, spruce, hemlock

demeron
10 years ago

Hey, all-- I am the proud owner of several new, largish (10') conifers. 5 Vanderwolf Limber Pine, a Hoopsi blue spruce and 3 Canadian hemlock. I would like to help them grow to their best potential. Is there any special care I should practice apart from keeping them properly watered?
