Needle cutting can sometimes induce budding. On this particular plant I needle pruned due to the fact that the canopy was so large that no sunlight was reaching the inner tree. This is a slow death for the inner branches that we sometimes depend on for the canopy of the tree. BY cutting the needles shorter the inner branches will recieve sunlight and air. It will cause the tips to turn brown, and this would not be something that one would do for a show or display.
