Several weeks ago, we performed initial early spring pinching on our short-needle single-flush pines. This week on Mirai Live, we’re returning to our Scots pine and shore pine from our Pinching Strategy stream to continue building your understanding of pinching, both for growth management and aesthetics, throughout the spring season. After the first pinching, the stronger candles that were pinched stimulated the growth of multiple candles in the medium and weaker portions of the tree. Now, we must guide the pinching process over the course of this crucial season, understanding the indications and techniques that lead us to transition energy and strike the highest level of evolution over the course of a single flush of growth.
