Hello everyone,
I recently acquired 2 young ponderosa pines to experiment with and was wondering how to manage the buds. Is it safe to reduce this to 2 buds?20230121_082559.jpg20230121_082549.jpg
Here's what the two of them look like at the moment.20230118_154810.jpg20230111_151839.jpg
Any help is greatly appreciated, as my larger ponderosa seems to be producing an awful lot of buds at all the branch tips 😬.

Just let them all flush out in the spring - then in the late summer select the shoots you want to keep, and prune off the others.
