So quiet...

As soon as the weather gets nice people stop hanging out in front of their computers and start working on their trees Of course in Southern California you never STOP working on your trees except for during the winter which goes from January 3 - January 7 every year (shorter during warm years)...

My black pines are already pushing their 2nd set of candles...

When do you candle there? In March? What technique are you using?

Im at about half a candle. Pruned the top off a seedling last year (bad mistake!) Its taken a whole year to show any new growth. Wont be doing that again

Yes I candled in March. I waited as long as possible but we had a warm spring and in some cases I feel I waited too long. Depending on the tree and what I am trying to accomplish, I can get two growing seasons in one year here. I am bud pruning right now on some of my trees - while others that need more balancing I am letting grow more aggressively and will cut back hard once again this year to push the grow back and down.
