Hi Gerry, I have a 36" high specimen in a pot, I am developing it for its final position in the garden. It had lovely new growth all over it two weeks ago but now has turned a reddish brown colour and has started to drop needles. I scrapped back a small bit of bark about a foot down the main stem and it is green inside. I have fed it with a soloution of eracious liquid feed, is there any thing else I can do to help save it?

3 7' trees planted on slope now in two years the lower one is fine. Higher ones have hardley any leaves and few flowers. Even though it is ex farm land the soil is not great. Would feeding them ensure they do better next year. Last autumn the higher ones changed colour and lost their leaves first while the other one still had green leaves on it.
if feeding will help what type of feed is recommended. Thank you.
