Here are my examples. Two Japanese Black Pines, right next to each other on my bench. Repotted same month (two years ago). Large pond mesh baskets. 100% pumice. Both getting same water, same organic fertilizer (composted chicken manure). The yellow pine has four fellows to the left that are just as yellow... and I have other JBP that are just as green as the one on the right. I am going to try the malathion dip on two of the yellow pines and see if it has an impact.
And just to be clear - these two pines have been sitting next to each other for two years with the exception of when I have been working on them.
Did these turn around for you @Bonsai Nut ?
