As far as watering them, it's more a problem of getting the water TO them. It only hits freezing at night, but the real problem is that this pine is on his property just across the main road at the edge of his property line. No hoses or anything. I'd have to fill a 55gal drum and set it out there.

Should I truly NOT prune it right now? He wants it done, and I'd hate to think of *him* out there with a saw hacking away at it.

I lived next to him for 2 years while I was managing an 18 horse ranch, so we know eachother a bit. Maybe I can talk some sense into him. You know how that goes though, telling old people how to do things (70 yrs old or so)
