Branches, not Pads

This tree pruning article describes proper pruning techniques for pine branches.  Some people describe specimen pine tree branches as "pads," but that description is misleading.  The article describes the structure of beautiful branches and explains why a "pad" is not the desired shape.  The 4-page article is directly related to Japanese garden maintenance as well as the subject of topiary artistic pruning.
