hello,
we had a nasty heat wave this last july and a tree i gave to my sister seems to be suffering. it is losing most of its newly grown needles and i can't determine if its from root rot since it appears that the tree was being watered even when it didn't need it, or if its from the heat that killed off the needles. i've tapered its watering over the last week and the soil was draining well but staying moist for a day too long which is strange because i potted it with inorganic material. there seems to be peat moss in the pot when i was checking it which is likely leading to the moisture problem. i've kept it in the shade to let it come to full dry but its a bit sad to watch.
anyone have any ideas or tips for steps to take aside from what i've already done?
