Hey guys,
Got a tiny little radiata, picked up as tube stock. It may be a bit unhappy. It's got PLENTY of foliage, and plenty of green foliage, but on some of it it's browning? Not sure why really. The tee gets plenty of sun, watered when it starts to dry out and fed every week.
ANy ideas?
Can get a pic tomorrow if you like?
Thanks guys.

pics definately help, from what i know radiata like to be drier than most. i think.

post a pic and i reckon others will be able to help

jamie

repot??? maybe. check the roots.

I would do what Anttal said for sure.
Maybe since the foliage is so plentiful but the roots have ran out of space to keep the supply up with the demand up top.
Is it still in it's tube?

More than happy to pull it out and have a look, but I slip potted it out of the tube into a 6in pot a month or two ago? SO that *should* have been plenty of growing room for quite a while.
I'll grab a pic when I get home this evening adn throw it up
*edit - may have even been an 8in pot I put it in? Can't remember off the top of my head. But it's definately sizeable

Well, the more you look at the more information you have about what might be wrong, you can always put it back as is if roots seem happy.

Or.... it could just be the last years needles getting ready to fall off....

I'm with Jow on this one.

Jow and Jarrod, thank you for adding that. I'm not familar with pines at all. I only have this and one other (a JBP that is substantially larger), so I'm still learning about them
I'll still get a pic of it, and i'll have a look at the roots on the weekend

i have a few tubes and they are all doing the same.... its just old juvenile foliage falling off.
