I need to cut 2 or 3 bottom rows of branches from a pine tree, do I need to seal the "stubs"?
The tree is over 30' tall. I am hoping to put in a shade garden under it once the branches are pruned. The branches are laying against the ground and have killed all of the grass so I thought that the location is a perfect place for a nice landscape accent.
No, it will seal itself. I did the same thing a couple years ago but nothing really flourishes under my pine tree. Just don't cut anymore than a third off the tree. If you are cutting the branches all the way back to the trunk, I don't think that it matters what time of year you cut. If you are just trimming, they say it should be done in the fall so that the new buds can set for the following year.
