  • Question

    Hello! new here! I have a Norwegian Red cone spruce that I have put into a bonsai pot late fall/early winter here in Montana, though it has been indoors to prevent temperature shock (It was shipped to me from California) I recently noticed a very dark brown color creeping through the needles from the tips of most of the branches and wanted to see if you thought it was repotting shock... or something more worrisome. Thanks for your time!

    Answer

    Dear Zero, good morning. I'm sorry that I cannot help you. I am not versed in plant pathology. You might want to contact the horticulture department at the New England Wild Flower Society or another organization to find someone who might recognize the symptoms your plant is displaying. Good luck.
