THIS IS GOOD TO KNOW WHERE PITCH PINE TREES GROW AND FROM WHERE THEY COME FROM. THANK YOU.

[@jasminecalvert1660]

Just got 40 from HEB in Bastrop! So excited to get them in the ground. Thank y'all so much!!!!!

How are they doing? I've been looking at one over at HEB.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Thank you 👍🇬🇧

I picked one of these trees up while visiting Texas. Will it do ok in Central Missouri?

[@kevinchang7173]

These beauties are hardy. While the soil type will likely play a role, my general assumption is 'yes' since they really are tough.

[@brassteeth3355]

They have some at HEB that are 2'-3' tall. I'm thinking about putting one in the yard. Will the same process work?

[@TreeFolksATX]

The process is slightly different. Check out our Tree Care Resources to learn about planting and caring for a 5-Gallon Tree. www.treefolks.org/learn-about-trees/tree-care-resources/

How do we get the trees?

[@gcvincent2207]

Is it ok to plant in a large planter and transfer to the ground later?

[@adav5533]

I've seen it done.

[@ericurioste5578]

How can I get some pines to plant on my land? Is there an organization that donates trees?

[@keithinaz9769]

Usually a dollar each or less on ebay.

Why not just use a drill auger

From my poor experience the pine trees you planted are 99% dead. 🤨
