Jur,

Until someone with experience with the stone pine can answer, I say "pine" and "drastic root prune" do NOT belong together. 1/3 is probably the maximum to consider. Pines, in general, do not like having their roots messed with. Since I can't give you specific advice, please accept my general advice for pines until someone can tell you better:

1/3 of the rootball as a maximum and wait until the right time. Here in North Carolina, USA, that is around early May.

Good luck,

John
