Prune In June,
Specialist Says
The best time to piune ever
greens is during the month of
June after the first new growth
is finished accoiding to Robert
F Stevens extension horticul
turist at the University of Dela
ware
If pine trees are pruned each
year, they will remain compact
and still keep then charactens
tic shape They should be prun
ed when the new shoots called
candles ate fully elongated but
still tender and succulent At
this time the new needles are
about one half as long as the
previous year’s needles The
new giovvth can be cut back
one-third to one half its length
a new’ set of buds will form just
below the cut surface
