WHITEPINE

Hi,

I have been exposing the pine to full sun all day, because this is usually recommended. But as part of my recovery plan, I will keep it in a part of the garden that stays in shade for most of the day. Then in two or three days time, I will expose it to full for 4 or 5 hours per day.

The majority of needles are still on, but some have turned yellow. As far as I know, once this occurs, the browning and then dropping process is inevitable. If it dies, which what I expect, I will concentrate on my maples.

On thing that I would say, is that I have found the change from a soil medium to clay granules very difficult. This is because as the granules drain so quickly, I have been unable to check for dampness. Therefore, it could even be that I have under watered.

I simply don't know what went wrong, which is why I won't get another JWP.

Regards
Stephen
