Hello! Writing here again, for problems, again. (From Buenos Aires, Argentina)

I have had an aleppo pine for 3 years now, last year, end of august (end of winter), I did a big bend on the trunk and left the tree on my gf’s parents house, because they have a big open space, protected from wind and half shade.

It took a little but eventually candles elongated and started to open on october (second month of spring), by the end of december (summer) needles where still elongating but somewhere between january and february, they started to slow down (maybe the hot time)… but they where still really green and everything was good, until quarantine, so I couldn’t go a check it for myself for a couple of months.

2 weeks ago they sent me a picture asking for the color of the tree… one branch was already fully dead and the rest of the tree was pale green, needles down, not many buds on the tips, so I made the impossible to get the tree sent to me, and now I have it. It seems that the roots are not taking too much water, I only watered it once in 2 weeks, I’m misting periodically the leaves, applied superthrive, enzymes, aminos, auxins, seaweed to the soil and green is getting worse, even some new growth from the spring is now turning brown.

I do not have too much hope, but have to ask what would you do in a case like this?

I have - but still not applied - biogold vital and hb-101

Other than continue watering the tree as needed, I have no advice. The tree looks terminally ill. The Fertilizer won't help and the HB 101 is unlikely to help much. You can try them, but don't over-dose them.

It looks like the tree was allowed to get too dry between watering, or that it was kept too wet. Same symptoms either way, as too wet, kills off root tips, then tree shows drought stress even though it was too wet. Too dry also kills root tips, leaving tree looking drought stressed.

Not much you can do other than be attentive to watering. Perhaps it will pull through, hope you are lucky.
