Hello together,
just placed fertilizer on my white pine, and I came to notice, that mostly the old foliage has been turning brown over the last 1.5 months, I was just wondering if this is normal behaviour...
For explation it was quite rainy the last days, so maybe it was overwatered (slightly yellow tips on the needles => indication of overwatering), it wasnt staying that wet though, pretty high drainage mix...
The Pine was bought last year, it was in a really small japanese training pot, with highly neglected rootball, of course this spring I repoted it...
On my provided pictures below you can see, that the buds all are swelling and some even started breaking, however with very small needles, probably because the tree doesnt have that much roots last year when I got it.
So about the foliage, for most part the "younger" growth / needles look quite good, also I saw some new growth coming which should be a good sing, however Im still wondering if its normal for white pines too loose that many old needles in spring!
Thanks for any Help!
