Probably not the best time to cut branches with winter coming, if it were mine, I would wait to see how the tree responds before insulting the tree anymore
The tree was planted when the building was constructed, not a wild tree, tree was short compared to local pines with some zig zagging to trunk n branches unlike my local pines with straight tall trunks and branches, wish I would have took photos
Found a two needle pine growing on a fast food restaurant chains property, it looked like a Japanese two needle pine, I took a few pine cones for seeds was wondering if anyone could identify from cones?
