    Thank you and great info! I bought a black pine and I was wondering about reducing the needle size. Also, the watering tip was really helpful. Thank you for sharing!

    Informative video, as always. You said to prune the pine anytime. But it seems to me that if you pruned now — the end of June — that it would bleed sap excessively. Isn't this detrimental to the tree's health?

    I think if you use thick wire on small black pines trunks in growing season. It will girdle the trunk but it will also thicken the trunk and it will heal over two four years and the scaring looks really natural

    I'm still trying to get one of these to germinate. I have about a million seeds..some in soil some in the fridge.some in freezer.

    Some people say stratify in fridge.
    Some people say freezer.
    And others say black pines don't need it just plant them.

    I have lots of seeds and nothing grown 😅
