Thanks, Hans, it is a great article with plenty of photos to illustrate your point. Most articles explain about balancing the energy by removing candles, but for someone new, it is hard to know exactly when a bud becomes a candle. Your article illustrates the point well.

Thank you.

I've just read through the article: phew thanks for giving such explanation on two needle pines to the community. I hope you do not remove the article from your site, ever, because I know I'll be back to read it again and again in future. It is a fantastic article. Thank you, I'm sure it will help with a mugo that I am currently wresting with.

Great stuff there Hans.
I'd like to say thanks for taking the time to post a link to your page. This article really clears some things up for me.
Do indeed keep us informed if you should write any other articles.

Great article Hans. I can finally get a handle on 2 needle pine management. The supporting photos and diagrams help greatly in showing the technique and results.

Again great work and keep it up...
