Shimpaku - any hope left?
Not sure what went wrong with this one. Mix is fast draining (Ive actually wondered if it was too fast although I dont think its ever dried out) Has been going downhill since a repot (removed old soil but didnt cut any roots) It was healthy looking but was in a VERY compacted soil mix when I bought it couple of months back and has steadily yellowed and is now browning and dropping needles. There is new growth on the outer edges of the tree so Im at least encouraged by that. I did see signs of mites and treated for that. Seems to have stabilized (meaning not getting any more yellow etc) but Im worried by its appearance that it might be too late. It started showing yellowing then browning about 1-2 weeks after the repotting.
So far I have treated for mites (no sign for couple of weeks now) and moved out of full sun to a more dappled sunlight area. Im not sure what to do at this point
Any ideas or hope left for this? I dont have any experience with junis so any help is appreciated.
