Stupid or floppy Scotch Pine

Stupid or floppy Scotch Pine

Take a look at this stupid tree. It has the worst posture of any tree. The branches are all floppy! I have 5 other trees like it, same age, but they stand nice and tall with great posture?

If you can see in the pics, it the upper branches are floppy.

What can I do? The tree has no disease.

must be growing too fast. Dump some used motor oil on it, slow it down.

Either cut it off just where the main stem starts to go wild or do the same only at ground level.

Kut it off at 0.oo inches above ground.

Doc Bob,
i find myself coming back to this topic again taking a look at the pictures of that pine tree. It is so unusual I really think you should send those pictures into a few people, you local extension perhaps. It is just a very wierd tree. You might have something very rare that tree people would be interest ing. This Professor might be interested in your tree. please read this article
