Hello All, I had cut one of the Scot pine branch into the last years branch, beyond the candle that was formed this year.
Just trying to experiment out. I had read a thread here where they even talked about trimming down even till the oldest live needles, which would be on about three years old branch and still expect a new bud to form there if the tree is healthy and done in fall.
I know this is a little less likely to form bud compared to what is done in typical pinching.
I thought of trying first with just one year old branch and the next year I would try with two and three year old branch.
This year I was a little late in pruning this branch. It was almost end of growing season and so the bud is not so big yet.
Do you think this is a bud or something else.
