Post subject:  August Pinching Scott Pine
Hello Friends,

I live in London. Have gone through quite a few posts on internet but still want final suggestions on my Scot pine. Unless I have spent one full cycle with Pines, I will not become confident with Pinching, de-candling, needle plucking etc.

As per the advise from a local bonsai nursery, I had cut short many of the candles when they were still emerging in the spring this year, and were say one/two inches long.

Now that all the trimmed and non-trimmed candles have become shoots and the needles have formed, I see that there are many shoots jutting out, hurting the round shape of this tree and so I was thinking of trimming again. Most of the shoots have formed their bud at the tip for next spring and those which had been trimmed in spring, some of them have formed new buds.

My question is, Can I, at this time of the year, trim back the new growths to get back the round shape ?

Hi, looks like a nice project, nice and healthy. Not a Pine expert but I am sure good advice will follow. I did notice that your username is actually your email address, I would change that as it’s not a good idea to have your email on a forum. Keep us updated with your progress

Yes, you can prune the shoots back as long as you leave several pairs of new needles on each shoot. I like to wait until September just to allow more photosynthesis before chopping.

Hey, Thanks for your reply.

How to replace my user-id? I tried looking into my profile set-up but there is no option.

Hello WebMasters, Can you please help me with this.

Thanks.

See Email. Admin

Thanks Nick and GoldCrest for the reply and suggestion. How soon will the new buds appear after chopping?

The summer this year has been so inclement. This tree lost lot of needles and is continuing. Is this kind of needle turning brown expected? Do you think I should put this tree in a bigger pot to prevent this from occurring again? It really stresses me to see needles browning.

Thanks for suggestion. I will trim tomorrow to nearly half. Just tell me this, it does not matter if the new buds at the tip are already formed.
