My deadwood pruning fail on a client's big pine
I was cutting too much deadwood and hurting the trees. After one pine looked bad, I tried lighter cuts in cooler weather, and it came back strong.

Ever see a tree come back from a bad prune like that on something totally different? My uncle got too aggressive with an old pear tree a few years back, and it looked like a skeleton for a whole season. We all thought it was a goner, but it pushed out so much new growth the next spring it was wild. Nature's got some serious bounce back sometimes.

Man, that reminds me of a rosemary plant I had on my balcony. I forgot to water it for like two months during a heatwave, and it turned all brown and crispy. I mean, I was sure it was dead, but I left it out there anyway. Next thing I know, after some rain, it started putting out these tiny green shoots from the base. Idk, plants just have this will to live that's kinda wild when you think about it.
