NJ,

You can do wiring and branch pruning on pines in the winter. Rootwork comes later in the Spring. I would leave the heavy branch bending for the Spring though, when the sap flow is up to speed. That's because the heavy bending may block the weak sap flow to the point of no return.

Hey Brian,

I'm just itching here in L.A. to start my spring work, hopefully in a couple of weeks. I can't believe that over there in N. Cali. the Spring is ahead of us here.
How's that possible? We just got over a two-week rain and flooding, my trees were just almost underwater all this time.
