Planting: Be sure that the planting location drains well and will receive full sun, which means at least 6 hours of direct sun each day. This particular pine can tolerate clay or sandy soils and overly alkaline pH levels but will do fine in ordinary soil as well.Also, keep the pine’s maturity height and width in mind when it comes to selecting the location you’d like to plant. Avoid planting under power lines. Make your planting site hole twice the width of the root ball and just as deep.Keep the tree straight and tamp the soil down as you fill the hole to prevent any air pockets from forming, and water the planting site when finished to settle the soil. Spread a nice layer of mulch around to keep grass and weeds at bay. 2. Watering: Like most other pines, the Austrian Pine will benefit from a weekly watering schedule until it has become more established. After it's settled, the natural rainfall should be enough for the tree but during extended hot periods and prolonged drought, it may still need the occasional watering.3. Pruning: During the dormancy period (late winter to early spring), be sure to remove any damaged, diseased or dead branches away from the tree. If you want to avoid pruning, just be sure to allot the tree the necessary space it needs as it matures.4. Fertilizing: Austrian Pines do not typically require fertilizing, although they may benefit from some evergreen fertilizer spikes in the first few years. This will also enhance the growth rate of the tree a bit more.
