browning

I have a Giant Sequoia that I have been growing in a pot for 3 1/2 years. It started as a tiny seedling only 1 inch tall and grew during that time to be about 2 feet tall. It has always been green and never a hint of brown. It seemed like the tree stopped growing taller, very little new growth...

Hopefully this picture shows what I am asking about, I understand that on some maples the bark darkens before it matures, this on the other hand leads me to believe it is some sort of fungal infection. This part of the trunk is directly below an air layer, I would assume that if this is an...

I just acquired a new Sharp's Pygmy Japanese maple. It arrived from Mississippi yesterday afternoon. I looked at the Japanese maple this morning and again about 30 minutes ago and noticed that the leaves are browning. I watered the tree yesterday afternoon after putting it in my enclosure...

Greetings, This is my first post, as i have recently taken up an interest in treekeeping and maybe bonsai one day. I have a gardening background so i understand at least the basic concepts, and i keep a variety of plants/ other trees alive and thriving. I recently purchased an Itoigawa that...

I have a 70 year old shimpaku juniper that I have taken care of over the past 3 years. I recently moved from Georgia to Sacramento, CA and the tree suffered a serious hit from the move likely from my packaging and heat. I had watered the plant thoroughly and wrapped the soil/pot in plastic and...

I posted a while ago of a Nana Juniper with some browning issues. I was given some tips and advice, and was going to apply them the day after. However, I had an emergency and I have not touched it for the last few days. Is this tree still salvageable? Any assistance much appreciated...

I was gifted a juniper bonsai for my birthday. It was fine the first few days, looked happy as can be- then it suddenly started browning like this. I have not been overwatering it, could possibly be slightly under watering it even. I put it in a place that is shaded yet gets sun. This is the pot...

Basically my Taxus I noticed is turning brown, it's been a pretty cold winter often down to -20c or lower. It's warmed up a little now but still cold (-5 to 5 c.) my tree is on a protected glass balcony and out of the wind with the balcony about 5c warmer than outside. Any thoughts what it...

Hi! So im pretty experienced with atlantic cypress in my own time having grown bonsai - but ive recently been given a small tree by a friend who was struggling to care for it. They've told me it was sold to them as 'Chamaecyparis Obtusa - Hinoki cypress / Juniper' to be kept indoors (we're in...

Hello, I am new to bonsai and was gifted a Chinese Elm back in May. I am living in the DC area and do not have anywhere outdoors to keep it, so it has been fully inside for the last 5 or so months. For the first 4+ months I kept it in a window that got moderate sunlight with a growth light on...

Dear bonsai experts, I request some help! I bought this new Scots Pine bonsai from a seller in Chino, CA (Southern Cal) a few weeks ago as a gift to a dear friend who lives in San Francisco. Unfortunately, they kept the pine indoors (gasp!) for 2 weeks after receiving it (despite clear...

Hello all – First post and it’s a doozy! I’ve been reading through a lot of this forum and it appears to be a very knowledgeable/active community so I’m happy to be a part of it. So we purchased a ‘Shimpaku Juniper Bonsai’ tree just over a month ago from a local nursery. They’re pretty well...

I’m unsure why but every branch, every tip of the foliage is starting to brown, I also see either no or little growth on any of the foliage (in UK). I used miracle grow all purpose fertiliser balls at the start of spring if that makes any difference. I used their recommended amount. This is a...

I'm in Buenos Aires, Southern hemisphere, Summer here - I have wired and styled a JWP 2 months ago (not a hot spring). It was going really well until some days ago, I'm noticing browning of the old needles, and also a bit of browning in some new needles as well. Is this common because is...

I'm in the south emisphere - Buenos Aires exactly. I've done an air layer in a JM on December 29th. Now i'm noticing that the newest leaves are turning brown, but the hardened off ones are still ok. Has the air layer gone bad? Is there anything i can do to save it? is it normal? I've done air...

Hi! I'm new to bonsai care. I live in Ohio and I'm not sure whether my plant is suffering due to winter dormancy, overwatering, underwatering, or what. I will post pictures, but most leaves are brown. Up until a few weeks ago, I would constantly see new dead leaves that have fallen to the...

Haven’t been able to figure out what is going on with my juniper tree. He’s getting brown spots! I’ve sprayed Ortho 3 in 1 insect mite and disease on the soil and some foliage bc I found some micro gray bugs in the soil. He is pretty bare compared to what he use to look like. The browning...

Hey there first time poster! Looking for some expert thoughts and suggestions. I have had my bonsai for 13 years (see pics) it's a flowering Fukien tea kifu and to be honest it's been the easiest thing to take care of, water it once a week, I have had in direct sun, barely any sun each time I...

Hello all, Disclaimer: This is my first post here, so I apologize for any stupid questions contained herein. Anyways, I picked up a couple really good looking 3 year old Junipers from a guy who had set up a corner stand here in Tulsa, OK. Older, Asian fellow who really seemed like he knew what...
