Hello all! Long time reader, first time poster.
I have a newly planted Japanese umbrella pine that was planted about 2 weeks ago following all the good advice on this forum. I just noticed today that a small vertical strip of needles are starting to brown (see pictures). I do not thing it is the watering or the sun as there is an identical Japanese umbrella pine planted a few feet away that receives the same amount of water and sun and has no problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
