Tips for How to Trim a Pine Tree Without Killing It

To trim a pine tree without killing it, perform pruning in spring. Use a pair of loppers to trim branches under 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. Cut larger branches with a reciprocating saw fitted with a pruning blade. When trimming your pine tree, focus on removing diseased branches before removing unwanted branches. Where possible, thin out undesirable branches without cutting off the entire limb. Never cut off the top of a pine tree, as this results in poor growth and invites disease.

Tips to ensure your tree lasts through the season
When choosing your tree and checking for freshness, ensure most needles stay intact when the tree is shaken. There are a number of dead needles that collect on the interior of the tree from shipping and handling, this is normal. The tree should look healthy, smell fresh, and drink water. Another tip when choosing a tree is to take a needle between your fingers, it should feel firm and snap crisply like celery. Not all trees have the same needles, some needles are pliable and soft and some are heavy and stiff.

How to Care for Indoor Pine Trees

The first factor to consider when caring for an indoor pine tree is where you place it in your home. Norfolk Island pines need a good amount of sunlight every day, so they should be placed near a window. Light will help your tree to keep its bright-green color. Placing your indoor pine on the window ledge in a well-lit room is the best way to achieve optimal growth too. Be careful to place it so that the foliage doesn't touch the window pane; excessive heat from too much direct sun can burn the needlelike foliage.

Norfolk Island pines tend to like staying in one place, so it's best to find a permanently well-lit spot for your plant as opposed to moving it into the sunlight for a period of time each day. It's also important to rotate your tree a quarter turn every few days to ensure all sides of the plant get enough light. This will ensure your tree grows upright and symmetrical rather than bending toward your window.
