Norfolk Island Pines

I have a few small plants, they're about 18" tall.

Can they be pinched back to encourage side growth or are they like true trees and you shouldn't mess with the leader, new top growth?

4. They sure grow

We've got one that is 10 feet tall. Except the lower brances fall off as new ones sprout, so it is like 7 feet of skinny trunk, 3 feet of actual tree.
