The species is subject to insect attacks – its trees are usually more attacked than the common native pines in the areas where it is planted. The tree tolerates air pollution and is furthermore used in urban areas and for noise- and windbreaks. However, in some countries it is also used for carpentry, veneers, furniture and construction in general. ![]() The wood is brittle and coarse grained and mostly used in the pulp and paper industry. The tree grows very rapidly under plantation conditions, which has made it the most important timber tree in several of the countries in which it is cultivated. In Europe, huge plantations can be found in the Basque Region in Spain. Though the natural habitat is severely fragmented and in continuing decline, it is one of the most widely planted tree species in the world and are today cultivated in New Zealand, Australia, Chile, South Africa and South West Europe. It is native to very few localities on the Californian coast and Baja California, in the United States and Mexico, respectively. If there’s not much space within the canopy for light to reach the center of the tree, you can trim away some excess foliage to make windows for light to shine in.Monterey pine ( Pinus radiata), also known as the Radiate pine, is a fast-growing coniferous tree. Trim these back to the branches they stem from as well. These branches will become an issue because they can effectively block out light and air from inner branches. Try to find all of the branches that grow either directly up (that are not the primary trunk) and those that grow directly downward. These branches or leaves will be too heavy and grow downwards, so this can be trimmed back if necessary. Next, be on the lookout for extra long branches or leaves that may not be able to support a lot of weight. Snip these off at the branch collar, where the branch intersection is, without scoring the main branch. Look for pests, irregular growth patterns, and brittle branches or leaves. How to Prune To prune your Monterey pine, first cut away any dead, dying or diseased branches. It’s also a good idea to wear gloves while pruning to avoid any splinters or cuts in general. For very tall branches that are out of safe reach, use a pole saw with the necessary safety equipment. While smaller plant shears and garden scissors may not cut it (pun intended), handheld clippers, pruners and loppers will certainly help out. Tools In order to prune your Monterey pine properly, you’ll need the proper pruning tools. This is why this part of the Monterey pine needs to be pruned in good time. While most of the Monterey pine won’t need to be pruned until they develop some substantial height, sometimes their branches get a little carried away in the wrong direction.
