Is it really as simple as that? If it is then OK.

But will repotting it stimulate or retard new bud growth next spring?
I don't want to tip this tree over the edge (so to speak) and kill it by repotting and stressing it when it's not well, but on the other hand would leaving it alone 'do' for it too

Also, how does one tell when a pine is dead? will the needles stay green for ages after death or do they turn brown quickly?

Thanks,

Regards,
