The method of pre-planting in rockwool has been tried and tested millions of times and has always been found to be a good one. The only difference in opinion is when it comes to repotting (transplanting). Do I leave the young plants in the rockwool or do I try to carefully remove the 'coating' and run the risk of damaging the roots?
The pine tree is a permanent feature of our Mediterranean landscape. They do, however, have the side effect of burning like tinder at the slightest spark of light. This is especially the case when olive trees are planted next to them. Unfortunately, this 'spectacle of fire' is a part of our daily life, year after year.

I have always left the rockwool intact and plant the whole thing. Worked very well for cuttings in the past.
Ah yeah I live in a pretty wet environment, so wild fires are not common around here. Hopefully it never happens, but I used to live where I could see the smoke and sometimes ash every year.. really sucked.
