Mycorrhizal mycorrhizal pines. Pinus pinaster 450cc

Pinus pinaster, resin pine mycorrhized with the most common species of chanterelles ( Lactarius deliciosus, L. sanguifluus and L. vinosus ).

Each species is adapted to a specific environment and type of soil. Thus, each pine is mycorrhizated with three different strains of native chanterelles

In this way, the environmental conditions of the area where the pine is planted will select the most appropriate chanterelle strain, guaranteeing production from the 4th year onwards.

LA CASA DE LAS SETAS has an excellent production of Pinus pinaster (resin pine), niscalero mycorrhizated with the symbiotic fungus lactarius deliciosus, sanguifluus and vinosus, of the highest quality. These niscalos have been obtained from strains born in the hardest soils and environments.

The lactarius fungus (níscalo, rovelló, robellón, pinetell) acts symbiotically with the tree which means that both benefit from this relationship, the tree will grow more, thanks to the mycorrhizae that help it to absorb nutrients that without them it could not absorb and, in addition, prevents the attack of harmful fungi to the root, so the tree will be much healthier.

HOW TO GROW NISALER PINE TREES

Pine and loquat fruit in all soils except soils that are easily waterlogged.

If the soil is very hard or compact it is recommended to till it before planting and once planted it should not be reworked and, if weeds grow, they should be poisoned with herbicide.

The arrangement of the trees in the field should not be less than 4 x 4 m

The best time to plant this pine is from October to November and from February to April and, if there is abundant water, at any time, although it is advisable to water the first two years in the summer season when there is more drought.

Fungicide should never be used on these pines as it would kill the fungus. Our pines are of a spring so they will adapt better to the transplant, we have them in forest trays with alveoli of 250 cc and 300 cc, the pines have a height of 20 to 30 cm.

These pines should not be fertilized because it could spoil the suckering fungus, besides it is not necessary because the fungus gets more food to the tree
