Hi! I collected this lodgepole pine in April, 2018. In the last couple weeks, the lower branch started dying. No idea why. I have not changed my watering nor fertilizing routines with it. Any idea what is going on? That branch was weak when I collected it, and I always thought of jinning it as part of the final design. The branch did set terminal buds before starting to lose its needles. SHould I wait until next year? The buds don’t look like they are shriveling up, so maybe they will extend? If not, should I go ahead and jin the branch now? Thanks!
