Blue Atlas Cedar Pinching

Does anyone pinch the early spring tips on a Blue Atlas Cedar? It’s an elongating species but Im having trouble finding anyone showing this technique on these trees.

thanks!

I let mine grow out a bit and then cut them back. I can do that 2 or 3 times per season most of the time.

Thank you,
That’s what I was thinking based on not seeing anyone pinch.
