So I watched a lot of videos and read a great deal. But for some reason pines and spruce are a bit harder for me to grasp.
I just removed a couple buds from each site before they really broke and this is one year in the ground. I don't plan on using this as bonsai, since it's skinny and uninteresting for now.
But am I on the right track here? Would I do this technique every year or every other? Is it safe to remove the old long needles if this were a bonsai? I really haven't seen much on developing eastern white pines, for the obvious reasons. But I was kinda surprised at the needle reduction I achieved in one year, in the ground. Anyway just looking for some answers I guess
