Should I Top My Pine Tree?
Q: What would happen if I topped my twenty-foot-tall pine trees?
A: If you cut off the top of any tree, eventually a small nearby limb will begin veering upward toward the sun to make a new trunk. This might take several years to be noticeable, so if you are comfortable with the beheaded pine look, have at it.
