There's lots of conflicting opinions on when and how to dig pines.
I've had success digging in autumn, winter and spring but never 100% survival.
I generally leave as much green as I'm comfortable with depending how many roots I get out. Many collectors tell us to leave as much green as possible but that does not give me any better rates than cut back.
