First week all green, second week half brown, third week, its all over.
I agree with too much moisture in their weak state. They do have some shock from the bare root journey, and I did water them like hardy zone 4 trees. I do have a conservative green house that is temp and light controlled for wintering. It is "normal" climate now. My light is under control, but with all of your help, I realize that I need to increase the Turface up to 80 to 90%.

Where can you buy JBP in 2" pots? Please post the contact.

And- Yea, no problem with the Japanese Red Pine, those are fine here in MN.

Thanks for all of your comments. I knew the JBP was fragile, but with you help, I will figure it out. The Austrian Black Pine works real well here....but it is not the classic JBP.
Cheers!
