Does anybody know if this is normal? Or is it a problem?

Sure hate to have anything happen to it...it is estimated at 150 years
old...about 3-1/2" to 4" trunk just above the
nebari...about 3-1/2'
tall...natural bunjin.

Pat:

Conifers, in general, produce light/bright green growth, which soon turns to a darker color.

If the new growth is yellow green, I would say that you have a deficiency--such as iron, nitrogen, etc.

Give the tree a couple of weeks, and let us know if the growth darkens in color.

Cordially,
