Hello,
I bought a house that has 20 white pines planted in the backyard to provide a privacy shield for the neighbors. The problem is that pines are dying one by one -- the needles become yellow and then the whole pine dries up.
I talked to some people and they told me that this is because there is too much water in the back of my yard. I tried to fix the water problem, but the pines keep dying. So, I was wondering if you could help me with some of the questions I have:
- Is that a fact that pines don't like water? Could that be the reverse -- there is not enough water or yellow needles is a clear indication of a water problem?
- Assuming there is too much water, is there a water resistant evergreen that I can plant instead of white pines? Are all pines the same, or some of them are more resilient to water problem?
- I was wondering about Green Giants -- are they more resilient than pines?
Thank you very much for your help!!!
