Any idea whats wrong with this pitch pine?

Was the copper treatment formulated and labeled to be a root drench?
Its a foliage spray, u just gave the topsoil a good spraying along with the foliage, to be frank i didn't even know there were dif types for root drench.. seems like common sense now that you mention it though.
 
The fungus issue is in the needles. The tree is in a weakened condition because of the roots, ...which leads to its current fungal condition. The (bad) fungus isn't in the roots. The fungus is present because the roots are in a sub-optimal environment ...and the tree is weak because of that.

If you're going to tree the fungus, you need to spray the foliage.
The foliage is where i sprayed the most, ill keep an eye on the weather and the tree and see if i can find a better place to over winter it so u can repot it sooner. Thank you very much for your insight.
