Pruning of five-needle pine:

Pruning of five-needle pine can be carried out during the dormant period from late November to late February of the following year. Since the five-needle pine only produces terminal buds and not adventitious buds, it is not suitable for forced cultivation. If the pruning is too heavy, rosin will easily flow out of the wound. Excessive sebum will affect the growth and development of the five-needle pine. The appropriate pruning period is from early winter to early spring of the following year before the sap begins to flow. It is best to seal the pruned wound with sealing wax, sticky wood, tape, etc. to prevent rosin from flowing out.
