Default Light Green Pine Needles

G'day all...

Thank you all for your responses...

Here's a little more information...

There is NO yellow.

The light green is close to the light green new growth on a Deodora
Cedar...and, remember, the light green needles are from new buds, not from
candles.

I check every plant for water needs every day. This pine, in it's partial
shade location, needs watering every three days...maybe two if it's hot and
windy. We just had five days of temps over 100F, and this guy needed water
twice.

My soil mix is equal parts of OilDri, lava and pumice, and less than 5%
organic. For what ever lt's worth, I've been using OilDry for 5-6 years, here
in Southern Arizona.

That's about it for now.

Have a good day
