Whether you keep your pine as a bonsai or grow it as a common conifer like the pine found in nature, any type of cultivation requires a pruning from time to time. In order not to injure the tree and instead promote growth optimally, the timing is crucial. Use the following tips to promote healthy jaw development.

A pine bonsai should be trimmed at least once a year

Pay attention to regularity

Depending on the type of jaw you have, it will grow relatively quickly. If you neglect pruning, a well-kept bonsai will quickly turn into a rampant conifer. You should therefore reach for scissors at least once a year.

General rule of thumb for pruning trees

Experts advise only pruning deciduous trees in summer. Cold stunts growth because the tree recovers during the cold season and has no strength to regenerate from a pruning injury. Conifers are less vulnerable for the following reasons:

  • stronger resin formation
  • thick resin
  • usually evergreen

A cut in winter is therefore to be regarded as unproblematic.

The best time for lush needle formation

If you want to intensify needle formation, the time right before the pine trees sprout is a good idea. The needles should not have opened yet. Then cut back the young shoots and remove all yellow needles and twigs. Circular eyes will soon form at the cutting point, from which new shoots will develop in the following year.

Note: When pruning your pine, keep in mind that the conifer serves as a breeding ground or habitat for many animals. Therefore, before cutting, always check whether you are disturbing any residents.
