How to Select Healthy Red Pine？

Red pine should have bright, green needles with no yellowing or browning, indicating good health. Check for a well-formed, balanced shape and sturdy branches. Make sure there are no signs of pests, such as holes or webs, and avoid plants with damaged or discolored bark. Healthy red pine should have a robust root system, so gently check for moist, firm roots at the base of the plant. Properly cared-for red pine will appear vigorous and lush.
