"The needles on the pine in my garden seem to be turning brown."

"It doesn't look as healthy as it used to."

 

If you notice something like this, please feel free to get in touch with us 😊

 

The black pine is, by nature, a very hardy tree. It withstands drought, tolerates salt, and puts down firm roots even in harsh conditions such as sandy soil 🌲

Even so, it can sometimes lose its vigor. Here are a few things we'd like you to look at when something catches your eye.

 

✂️Take a Look at the Color of the Needles

When sunlight cannot reach its needles, the black pine turns brown and dies back.

Every year, we let the buds multiply in summer, then in winter we prune away the extra buds and old needles 🌿

 

🔍Take a Look at the Needles and Trunk Now and Then

Regular spraying can help prevent pests and diseases.

It is also important to watch the needles and trunk so that problems are found and dealt with early. To keep any damage from spreading, please keep an eye on your tree in everyday life.

 

🌱For Pines Planted Within the Last Year or Two, Watering Matters Too

Black pines send their roots deep into the ground, so they hardly need watering. For the first one to two years after planting, however, regular watering is needed until the roots spread out.

 

We, too, sometimes watch anxiously to see whether a tree we have dug up and replanted will take root. When it settles in safely, it truly makes us happy 🌲

 

📩"Is This Okay?" — Feel Free to Ask

The black pine adapts well to its natural surroundings, and with pruning, spraying, and care for its environment, it can stay healthy and beautiful.

 

We also offer regular maintenance for black pines, including health management and pest control 🍃

 

However small your concern, please don't hesitate to tell us about it.
