Norfolk Island Pine

Question

I’ve had my pines for many years, the tallest being about 5 feet. There’s five of them together. Can I cut the roots to get them apart?

Answer 1

Yes, you can, but just to let you know, the older a plant is the more susceptible it is to transplant shock. This article will help with avoiding that:
