    Hello.
    I bought two stunning young Atlantic Cedars 2 years ago . Before last winter I did not notice the water was standing in the big planter...I started noticing needles falling off then nearly all fell off I took the tree out and replaced all the earth and made sure the opening on the bottom will not clog up again. So in spring needles started growing again and I was happy but now they start falling again but some not HOW can I safeguard this tree as they are like two twins and I paid 195 $ for it. I really like to save it.
    I have given it special fertilizer for pine trees . The earth was fine the whole spring as I grew a few tulips in the same pot. Thank you.

    The one with a fairly good covering of leaves should have some potential but the outlook for the other is not promising.

    Ok well I sensed that .. but I am wondering why the one who is not well has the TOP looking ok and SOME branches and the rest not
    there are these little knots like chimneys where the needles seem to grow from. I would like knows what the problem is or could be? That the potential is not promising I know ..thank you.
