Early Stages of Growth for Conifer Trees
Typically, you can organize conifer trees into three growing categories. For some, their growth rate is slow moving, and they will grow less than a foot per year. A medium growth conifer typically grows between 1-2 feet each year, while the fastest growing ones will hit upwards of 2 feet annually. That said, the growth rates will vary species to species.
The ideal time to plant conifers is either spring or early fall; the reason for this is a simple one: those seasons tend to have cooler temperatures and additional rainfall, making it ideal fertilizing conditions for conifers. It’s optimal to plant on a cloudy, overcast day, since those days tend to have ample moisture in the soil you’re using. Generally speaking, conifers should be planted in an area where they can take in the sun’s rays; however, if you live in hot zones, you may want to make sure they are near afternoon shade.
