Dwarf trees usually reach heights of 5 to 15 feet on average. Due to the height of these plants, they should be outdoors. At full growth, these trees can be anywhere from 60-120 feet tall. Sunny locations are best as too much shade could reduce growth. Growing season USDA zones for Pine Trees is 3 through 7. It can easily be distinguished from other trees by its whorled branches and conical form. Planting Pine Trees is somewhat different than how you plant other plants. You’ll want to dig a hole deep enough for the root ball. The width of the gap should be at least twice that size or a little bigger. When planting Pine Trees, it is essential to make sure that the root ball is even with the soil surrounding it.

Watering Pine Trees is quite simple. These trees should only be watered during the first growing season, and the soil should be kept moist. After the first growing season, Pine Trees should just be watered during dry periods such as summer.
