The most popular coniferous plant among summer residents is thuja. It is planted as a hedge.

But you can go a little further than fashion and practicality and plant a cedar tree on your property that is no less beneficial for your health.

Experienced gardeners say that growing a Siberian pine tree that will produce healthy nuts is easier than it might seem.

How to Grow Cedar

There is nothing easier than sowing the nuts themselves into the ground.

Action should be taken in the fall, before frost sets in. No additional treatments or actions are required.

All you need to do is choose a suitable place (the tree loves shade and moisture) and soil without weeds, make furrows and sprinkle the seeds with loose soil.

It will be much faster to harvest healthy nuts if you buy a seedling, because cedar does not grow as quickly as you would like.

At first, young pines will still need to be looked after, but this care consists of weeding, watering and maintaining the conditions in which the cedar grows in its natural environment.

If necessary, you can transplant a young cedar in the third or fourth year after the sprout appears.
