Re: Back budding in Scots Pine

One idea you might consider is, towards spring chop all but that right branch, wire it up for a new leader. This has two advantages-

your foliage is now tighter in to the trunk...

you'll improve the taper of the trunk.

meanwhile study the techniques for two needle pines so you know what to do to keep it from getting leggy again!
