I dont know what kind of xmas tree i have growing or how to take care of it?

i bought this one dollar christmas tree starter kit at a store and thought what the heck and now i have about 8 little trees about an inch tall, in a small planting pot. I cant search online for how to take care of these xmas tress because i dont know what the name is. they look like little skinny stems but at the top of them its a bunch of little other stems coming off of it. i dont know its hard to describe...any one have any idea?

Most cheapo Christmas trees are alepo pines. they are the ones in grocery stores at Christmas time. Most pines and fir trees start out just as you have described. Info %26amp; picture of needles for alepo http://www.calflora.net/bloomingplants/a...

Reply:Right now it doesn't matter what kind of tree it is. ( I know that sounds terrible) Pine trees are acid lovers. Give them some miracle grow acid lovers once a week. After one year they should be large enough to determine the type of pine. There are many differant types of pine used for christmas trees. (fir, spruce sugar pine etc)Make sure as they grow larger, you transplant them to individual pots so the roots don't get damaged later on when seperating as they get entwined quickly. Good Luck, hope this helps
Reply:My guess would be douglas firs. Take a pic and let us see!!!
