🌲Why Pine Trees Drop Brown Needles in Autumn🌲


Listen Later

Hey, Gardeners Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener here. Get in the know! Ever wondered why your pine trees shed those brown needles every fall?

It's completely natural! Think of it like a pine tree's way of tidying up after a growth spurt. Those older needles get shaded out by new growth and thicker bark, so the tree sheds them to conserve energy.

This year's abundant rain means your pines likely grew more than usual, so you might see more needles dropping. Don't worry, it's a sign of health! Think of those fallen needles as a cozy blanket for your tree's roots. 😉 While you're at it, give your pines a boost with some granular fertilizer – they'll use it to fuel next spring's growth
