I have a two-year-old Ponderosa pine, the offspring of a Ponderosa that used to inhabit our back yard. I originally had other plans for it, but after being bitten by the "bonsai bug" I decided to use the tree as a learning project. I am starting to see a small number of needles turning brown...usually at the tips of a few of the branches.

I need to know if this is a normal phenomenon, or if it is an indication of a real problem with the tree. Should I be worried about the problem, or simply trim the brown needles?

Thanks for your advice.
