From Scots pine to mugo and lodgepole, pines are all over Edmonton yards. We prune, assess and care for pines, and know the one rule that protects them: never cut them like a deciduous tree.
Pines are tough, hardy evergreens that suit our climate, which is why Scots, mugo, lodgepole and Austrian pines are so common here. They are lower maintenance than many trees, but they have their own needs and their own pests, from needle cast to sawfly and shoot problems.
The most important thing with pines is how they are pruned. Unlike a deciduous tree, most pines will not push new growth from bare old wood, so cutting back into the bare branches leaves a permanent hole. We prune pines the right way, working with their growth habit rather than against it.
