Ever since exiting dormancy my white pine started losing colour and then needles. The candles are growing and it’s using up water so it’s still alive. During winter i kept it in an unheated greenhouse. What should I do???
I don’t think it’s fungal, no dark spots no oozing on needles.
I’d say it’s a root related problem.
Watch the watering and examine the root system
I repoted it last spring into a 30/30/30mix and i’ve beed allowing the soil to dry out between the waterings. The needles had a good colour up until last month or so. The browning begins at the tip and then spreds throughout the needle.
Seems way to familiar, I lost 2 mugos the same way a few years back.
Keep it out of wind and watch the watering.
I couldn’t find anything wrong untill I lifted the tree out of the pot.
The roots were toas and it all happened in about a 2-4 week span.
Damnn that’s scary i’m really sorry for you. I’m a bit scared to pull the tree out of the pot since it’s been repotted just a year ago. I’ll put it on a heat mat tho just in case.
I’d get a couple more opinions before you took it out of your pot
