I received a hundred two year old seedlings from the Wisconsin DNR and planted them. Now that the snow is finally gone I was out inspecting them and a number of them seem to have a very noticeable browning of the needles. Is there something I should be concerned about, something I can do ??
Second question is about pruning them. I'd like them to grow up with a central trunk and not a split trunk like I see in a number of mature trees on the property. At two or three years is it appropriate to prune off the lower branches and secondary leaders like you would a hardwood tree to promote growth or are those lower branches necessary ??
