trimming off lowest brown branches of INSIDE Norfolk Pine? or leave them on?

Question

Hi,
I have a few (4) small lower branches that became brown on my Norfolk Pine when I went away for 11 days… guess it got too dry… it had been PERFECT for 6 years… sigh…

Is it better for the tree for me to leave them alone OR to trim them off? ( Would the tree drop them if it wants on its own?)

Answer 1

There will be no harm in trimming these dead branches. It is unlikely to regrow here, but they are best removed.
