Asking for a friend because I don't grow black pine. He has lost MANY black pines over the last 3 years. He's lost pencil-sized to broomstick-sized trees. They seem to flourish for a year or so and just start getting brown and die. I've gone to his house and he seems to be watering and fertilizing properly. He's repotted some and some are in the same nursery pots as when he bought them. He's just about at the point of giving up growing them. We've had a string of high 90 degree F days and that has increased the die-off. Anyone growing black pine successfully in a hot climate?
