2 conifirs have been planted from containers 6 months ago. They are 7ft tall in a bit of a shetered spot. Some of the middle branches have turned brown and are dead. Growth at the top and other areas looks OK with about 6inches of growth since planting. I have watered with 2 gallons each plant when there is a dry spell. They are under very tall pine trees. Many thanks, Geoffrey

Hi,
When transplanting you will often have at least some temporary damage....
In your case being that there is new growth to the trees the damage is only marginal and temporary...
Continue in the path you are on and give them some food (fertilizer) for the cooler months ahead...
Come spring they will be in good shape and take off again...
