hiring someone with an understanding of tree biology would be my
recommendation.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

I have a Norfolk Island Pine Tree in a lagre Pot. I live in New
England so I need to keep the tree in the house during winter. I have
had this for 30 years. My wife gave it to me when we were dating. A
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?
