@@moseseisley557 Northeast Ohio was spared the worst of the drought. For much of the summer, we were in moderate drought. Some eastern white pines only have one season of needles going into the winter, but they should be fine provided this doesn't become a multi-year event.
Good video! I’ve noticed SOME newly planted pines lose even 2nd year needles. Once they have been established it’s no longer a problem and they only drop 3 year needles.
@@Joshgats20 That's true. I try not to get too worried about it, but i do think it is sometimes possible to gain insight into the overall health of the tree by closely observing needle loss patterns. But in general, it's normal.
Yes, nothing to worry about. If sudden discoloration happens in late spring, I would and even than if the browning would be visible in the highest area and outer branches.
Thanks again :) One question: do you prefer to let the needles lay directly under the tree or do you mix it with leaves or transport the needles (when they are in larger volumes) to other parts of the garden? ~Marjet
@@moseseisley557 Thanks for responding :) That's normally the case indeed. However, I sometimes use needles to mix with leaves and place it around recently planted young pine trees (before the winter). We also have alot of clay in the ground, that consists of calcium. The needles keep things in balance and helps to bring out the minerals, that will benefit the tree. ~Marjet
Nice video! The old needles from the eastern white pines fell about two weeks ago in Cleveland. And they do make a nice mulch!
@@subtropicalohioplants267 Interesting. Are you guys having a drought like other parts of Ohio? We are finally getting more rain down here.

All my pines are looking like this. Normal.
@@rizocars6115 Yep, totally normal. And I just realized i forgot to show my japanese white pine... Same with that tree as well.

@@margroningen I prefer to let the needles lay under the tree. What do you do with yours?
