Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comThe trees were transplanted years ago and are about 3 inches in diameter, but lack branches on the bottom 4 to 5 feet. I need to stimulate branch growth off the trunk. I read article on the grellen?? on the branch tips, etc. Is there a growth hormone I can apply to specific spots on the trunk? or can I drill a hole and graft in a branch from the other pines?

Unfortunately, once a Pine has been cut to lose its shape, or lower branches, it is unlikely that you will get them to grow back. Grafting on a level like this is not really feasible, and will likely lead to infection and the tree's death.
Unfortunately, the pine will permanently lack lower branches, but it may start to look better as the tree grows taller.
