The mantra- Black pines and red pines (Japanese) pull the needles- lots of potential buds. White pines (Japanese) and Ponderosa cut teh needles. Less aggressive growers with fewer latent buds, must take advantage of as many buds as possible. The problem with stimulating too many buds is that you will have to remove most of them anyway, so, a key is not only to get buds to pop, but to get them to pop where you want them.
