How to dwarf black pine

1. Bend the main branches

Generally speaking, it is difficult to dwarf an adult black pine. Only plants that are younger and more plastic have the possibility of dwarfing. They can be dwarfed by bending the main branches and fixing them with wire. While tying it up, you can cut off the side branches that grow too high to control the height. However, be careful not to cut off all its leaves, otherwise it will not survive.

2. Picking buds

After fixing its main branches, it is also necessary to prune it regularly. During the growing season, the leaf buds should be cut off regularly. This can greatly slow down its growth and prevent it from growing taller. At other times, it is necessary to promptly prune off branches that grow too high to control its height.

3. Take cuttings

If you do not have young plants on hand, you can also cultivate new, shorter plants by pruning and re-rooting. The specific method is to select healthy branches, cut the lower end diagonally, and insert them into loose soil. Then put it in a warm place and take care of it slowly. After it grows branches and buds, you can use wire to fix it to grow it into a short and strong plant.
