Umbrellar Pine , gone poorly
Question from
I wonder if someone could advise me what to do to help an Umbrella Pine (Sciadopitys verticallata ) which is turning an all-over brown. The needles are not dropping from the tree, which is about 15-20 feet tall, but it does look really poorly. The yellowing/browning started last year, but has accelerated enormously in the last two months. It is in a sheltered position, but gets a reasonable amount of light. The plant is about 20 years old.
Incidentally, a Cedrus Atlantica Glauca, in the same bed, has shed a lot of needles in the last two weeks---a connection?
