I just bought two white pines recently -- they were on sale at Behnke, maybe because they are optimally planted in spring or fall, and had been sitting around a while. I think they were $9.99 a piece for two trees each about 3-4' tall. I planted one the other day. I want to plant the second ASAP, but, as you may have heard, we in prince george's and montgomery counties are under strict water limits now because WSSC is fixing a pipe! anyway, any general advice on tree care for young white pines? when do you start to prune, if at all? how often to water and how much? also, since i love evergreens so much, i'd love your recommendations on other evergreens of various sizes that do well here-- from the really tall, to the small and spreading that could go in my front yard. thanks sara brentwood md enjoyed your piece on white pines. i love evergreens, conifers, etc., although i don’t know much about them.

To narrow down the choices, are you looking for something in particular (tree, shrub or perennial)? And what conditions do you have in your garden (sun, part shade, or shade; wet, dry or average)?
