Question by mubarak (31)
I would like to cut the branches off of one side of my white pine tree.

It won't hurt the tree, but do realize that the branches will not grow back from where you cut them, but may sprout from other areas on the same side.
Answer by case (1261)
It will not kill the tree but the branches will grow back eventually. The tree may even grow the branches faster than you expect but the tree should be fine.
