A wild pine seed itself inbetween my privets, am i a bad person / gardener for trimming it at the same size as the rest of the hedge?
(Btw, i do the same to everything that gets in there, like a maple and several mahonia, but not the raspberries as long as they’re fruity)

For trees (hardwood and conifer alike) topping isn’t great. It happens, especially around power and data transmission lines, but it’s not good for the trees. That said, they can’t help where they grow and sometimes they end up in places that aren’t ideal for them.
