Pine Pruning with Pete: A Virtual Workshop

by Jessa Gardner & Pete Putnicki

It’s time for pine-pruning! From mid-May through mid-June, our horticultural team carefully prunes all 26 pine trees in the Seattle Japanese Garden. Since you can’t come visit and watch them work this year, we decided to put together this video of pine pruning tips and tricks for your own garden.

Senior Gardener Pete Putnicki shares his expertise in this video and gives instruction on how to properly prune and shape a pine tree for a Japanese garden. We hope you enjoy watching!
