I have this dwarf Scots Pine (possibly grafted, but it looks OK at the base), for which I have a few alternative ideas for design. I am wondering if it is safe to compact the branches (only the ones supposed to be in the final design) by pruning them to old needles, leaving 2 inches of needle foliage at each branch tip?
