Re: Japanese Black Pine
Soildoc:
Do a little expeeriment. It is fall and the central candles are just starting to form for spring. Select a limb that is unnecessary to the design of the tree. Remove the central candle bud and cut the needels to half of there lingth. Watch this branch in the spring and see what happins. I am betting that you will get small back buds that will produce shorter needles. If not it is an unnecessary branch and no harm is done.
