Pine needle problems

Post by Andrew Legg »

Hi All,

Japanese Black Pine. Tips of needles - 1mm from tip brown, and then the next 3 or 4 mm light green and then the rest of the needle is a normal colour. Is it needle blight? Any ideas what it could be and how to "fix it"?

Cheers, and thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew Yeh it might be blight or cast, a spray of copper could not hurt.

Could just be a little sun burn or may need fertilizing.
