What type of pruning methods does the gang use?  I was reading DL's World Class Pumpkins III and it discussed the christmas tree and flag pole.  Does any one use these?  Can I do a reverse Christmas tree, or are the secondaries near the stump too important?  

Also, do you use garden shears to prune?  Do you cover the cut with soil?  When do you start pruning?  How close to the main (or secondary) do you cut?
