Again, another very vigorous apical branch containing a great whorl of new shoots..........
And after pruning. Notice that each branch divides into only 2 parts at any one point.
Another newly-pruned branch that contains normal shoot extension and some adventitious growth from old wood.
With the tree newly pruned and needle-plucked, this is an ideal time to wire the entire branch.
New adventitious buds on a branch that was pruned heavily the late-Summer before. These buds are not strong enough to support the branch yet. However, due to the pruning and plucking of surrounding branches being carried out, they will strengthen in the future.
The Scots Pine after needle-plucking and pruning. In another year or two it will be ready to be fully styled.
