Buddist Pine

Post by Frangipanni »

Can someone please give me some advise on how to shape a Buddhist pine. Mine is only about 2 years old and I put it into a big black nursery bag to allow it to grow. The only thing I have done in the way of shaping it to wire the trunk and this has given it great shape however I am unsure how to trim the needles. Should I be removing all the lower needles on the branch like you do a normal tree ?
any help would be appreciated

This is a very tough question to answer without seeing a picture of your tree. Can you post one?
