The safest time to prune pine trees is during the dormant period in late winter to early spring. This allows pine trees to recover from pruning wounds as warm spring weather hits.
I must admit to thinking that the spring was the best time for Escallonia pruning, but last Autumn my tree surgeon took an electric cutter to mine-I actually hant wanted those doing, just the huge E.Iveyi next to them. Anyway this year they have all really thickened out & flowered well too.
