How to reduce branches of black pine

How to reduce branches of black pine

1. Branch reduction time

The main purpose of thinning the branches of black pine is to force it to grow buds. Therefore, the best time to cut branches is around March or April in spring, when the temperature rises above 15°C. However, it should be noted that branch reduction can only be carried out when the plant has grown to a certain extent. If the plant is not old enough and has just grown to life, it is not advisable to cut back the branches. Otherwise it will affect its growth.

2. Branch reduction method

The method of branch reduction mainly depends on the distribution of branches and buds on the plant. If the branch needles grow well but no new shoots appear, you can pull out a few needles to force it to grow new shoots. If the branches have new shoots, but the number is small, you can pull out these new shoots to allow it to grow more leaf buds again.

3. Notes

1. After thinning the branches, you need to place them in a sunny place so that the position where you want the buds to grow can receive some soft sunlight. This will speed up the germination process.

2. For branches that you do not want to sprout, you do not need to prune them. However, if the branches are too long, they should be shortened in time to avoid affecting the beauty of the entire bonsai.
