Frank,
Usually once this year's new needles have hardened off. Probably sometime in August for us. Regards, Fish.

Rowan, You strip all the old needles off your pines, before any new ones have grown and just when the buds are extending?? Sounds like a receipe for disaster to me. Regards, Fish.

Sorry, i was not clear enough. I remove all 2 year old needles only leaving last years needles on (The fresher green ones). On a healthy pine this simply decongests the structure and reduces the risk of inner needles dieing from lack of light. REgards Rowan
