So I've never had any problems with this tree until recently. I started noticing the tips of the upper needles turning black and gradually browning the rest of the needles. It's spread to different parts of the tree and others are less effected. At this point the tips are black and brown and it has stopped spreading to other areas of the tree.
I've never done any work on this tree until late june at a local club workshop where, under the close instruction of our club president, I pruned and wired the tree into the shape it's in now. That was my first wiring job and I now have a new found respect towards those who have mastered wiring!
I'm try my best to be mindful of when my trees NEED water, rather than watering by schedule, so I don't think it's a water-related issue. While I'm leaning towards the issue being fungi related (since I jinned the lowest branch without applying anything to preserve the wood), I've applied fungicide to the foliage several times this year to prevent disease.
The close ups are at the apex of the tree. The last photo, an indoor shot, was taken last year after I repotted it in September. It did extremely well this year and senior local club members even commented on how healthy it was at several club meetings.
Your advice is much appreciated!!
