The pine tree in the viewing garden was becoming a bit overgrown, so it was time for a trim. The last time I prunned it was back in July 2021. At that time I was concerned that I might have over trimmed the tree and potentially killed it. However, it recovered just fine.
This time around the tree was not as overgrown as last time. learning from the past, I knew to keep the pruning simple - don't over prune.
The gaol is to open up the growth so that you can see the trunk.
The finished pruning is not as tight as the last time, with some of the needle ends of branches extending a bit longer that last time. Nevertheless, I did remove at least 30% of the growth.
Overall, the tree looks better. I will need to see if this becomes an annual or bi-annual necessity. In the meantime, I will simply admire the beauty of the tree.
