Halfbaked, you mentioned it took 4 or 5 years for the pines to start comming up. Were these planted as seeds or sapplings and would you recommend any other variety of pine?
they were saplings.18" er so tall. the grass grew taller than they were the 1st spring. someone suggested the grass help protect them, but i dont know for sure. we used drought tolerant pines.
