Can anyone give me a brief description of the growing needs for a mugo pine. *I bought one last winter from a nursery and it grew until I repotted into another growing container this spring. *After I repotted it, the darn thing looks terrible. * I have read several conflicting articles on the environmental needs of this tree and need some "straight on" advice. *I'm in central MS and our days are around 80-90 with relatively high humidity (I can't wait for summer to hit). *The tree needles are losing their color and are now a pale green. *I've been letting the soil dry a little between waterings and have moved the tree to a shaded area where it may get an hour or so of afternoon sun only. *This seems to have slowed things down a little and I'm hoping that the tree will come back but, for all I know, I'm making things worse than they were to begin with.

Thanks for any help
