October 31, 2019Q.will pine trees grow if I plant seeds in the ground in November?
Recently a large amount of skinny trees were cut down in my backyard leaving a wide open dirt space. Years ago before all those trees grew on their own from the ground, there used to be 4 tall pine trees but the wind knocked them down. Then over the later years the skinny trees grew, then were recently cut down. Is it possible to grow pine trees there if someone took some pine cone seeds from a pine cone recently and planted them in the dirt where the trees are in November? The area gets lots of sun. I don't want to have to go through the usual long way it takes to grow a pine tree. I'm guessing you'll say no pine trees will grow that way, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks for any help.

Certified ExpertA.You can grow them from seed, but they need to be started indoors around January. Here are instructions on storing the seed till then, then planting. Once it is about 6 inches tall, you can transplant it outdoors.

December 29, 2019Q.Most of a pine tree gone in wind storm
Last night we had a bad wind storm and it took most of a pine tree. The only thing left is around 4 lower branches. Some of the bark is gone from the trunk and the trunk has moss on it. Is there any way a tree can come back from this or would it be better to take it down?

98382-9354Q.Will A Large Pine Tree Kill All Plants Put Underneath It?
I have a 40+ pine planted too close to the house, however. That's only one problem. It is a long needled pine, not aware of it's variety, with huge hard cones, when they open, there are equally hard black seeds/nuts. I have never noticed any seedlings nor have have I noticed any plants surviving when planted under or even near it. Do I have a pine that should never been planted in the garden area? Giving thoughts to letting a chain saw at it-unless you have suggestions for plants that will survive. Susan Trapp.

Certified ExpertA.Pines will kill most plants nearby, simply because their mess makes the soil too acidic for most things to survive.
My concern is that it is planted too close to your house. This is a hazard and needs to be removed, immediately, by a professional. Pines are notorious for falling apart as they age, so for the sake of your safety I would have it looked at.
