[IBC] Pine candles
 

This:


The new candles on my white pine are partly grown. The needles
are sticking
out, but the pairs of needles haven't separated yet. Is it too
early to cut the
branches & leader back to that point?


reminded me that on a bike ride through a longleaf pine forest
(Pinus palustris) last weekend I saw new candles of 15-18 inches
long!
