I have a Norfolk Island Pine Tree in a lagre Pot. I live in New

lot of sentimental value. Anyway, it is getting too tall to handle .
It is about 4 ft tall. If I clip the top, will that prevent it from
getting taller? I don't want to kill the tree. Should I contact a tree
specialist?

I topped ours a couple of years ago. Wish I had done it sooner. Not
the most attractive house plant with about 4 feet of bare trunk and 2
feet of branched top but it is thriving.
