I don't have a pine tree and live in a very dry climate but it does pick up small twigs from a blue palo verde tree and those twigs are larger and heavier than reasonably dry pine needles. As with any blower-vac, you can clog it if you try to pick up a huge pile of anything. Just work from the edges and it should do fine. I'm still amazed at how much better it is than my previous one from a different manufacturer.

I do not have tons of pine trees on my property, but I believe if the pine straw is sticky from pine sap, the machine is going to have problems handling that type of debris.

Haven't used it specifically on pine but have both ripped and crosscut redwood and oak. Seemed to do a good job on both.

Pine needles are not problem beacuse they have a low density and diameter. You may have to use the plunger (provided) to push them through. I have chipped small branches (fresh or dried out) up to 1/2 inch in diameter. Makes a great way to also clear out blackberry vines.

Farley, this product is pretty much "cut & kill". It works by totally killing a stump after you cut the bush/tree...I used it with great success with Rose of Sharon. It's not a spray...you brush it on the stump. If you cut the vines and brush this on their stumps, they won't grow back. It shouldn't harm the junipers. Look at it this way...it suffocates the stump of the plant that you want to eliminate. There's not a peripheral side effect.

Not really, this product is designed to kill greenery. I have sometimes sprayed around trees accidently and nothing happened to the trees or roots

I assume that it will. However, it will not kill the roots, it just destroys above ground vegetation, all vegetation. I used it to kill raspberries, a plant that is very hard to kill.

Yes you can kill small game with it. I've taken several rabbits,countless squirrels and two raccoons. It's like any other weapon,shot placement is the key.

I use it to kill Chinese Tallow, Honey Locust, and other undesirable trees in wildlife habitat restoration programs. I mix one gallon of Remedy to three gallons of diesel and spray the trunks from the ground up to 10 or 12 inches. Anything with a trunk diameter less than 6" is easily killed. Anything larger may take some follow up spraying.

I have only used tordon to kill stumps of trees we have had to remove. I have never used it in the application you describe. I would be cautious; tordon is unforgiving.

No you need to have logs or and old stump. The tree will kill the spores if it is still alive.

Yes. It does quite well with pine needles, you just have to play with the height setting a little till you get the right 'bite'.

I've only used it on leaves. If the pine straw is dry I think it might work.

I've never done pine that big, but I doubt it. It may do simple pieces,but once there is a branch or knot it will probably choke.

Hello Jim B. I drilled a 3/4" hole in a scrap of pine. The tip of the half round goes in however, it would be unsatisfactory for what you are doing. You might think about the round file in this set.

I do not think this saw would do a quick and satisfactory job on branches 3" to 5" thick. I've used it on 3" branches several times but think it's use is more applicable in the 1 to 2 1/2" diameter branches. Consider using a chain saw for speed and ease of cut on your branches. Note: an electric chain saw will cut your branches quite well.
