White pine

[steve27]

Hi all , just noticed on my white pine most of the new tips have turn brown , it’s been repotted this early spring . Gets sun from about 12m until sundown, not sure what’s going on but I cut off the dead tips and sprayed with copper fungicide , thinking it might be tip blight also noticed some sap is leaking from the main the man truck

Trunk pitch is where the graft join is at. Was tree bent recently? It appears as damage to the join area. It may also be caused by sideways pull of weight on the cascade. My suggestion is to seal the area well with cut paste to protect and aid healing and it would be good to give support under trunk for a couple of years for wood to grow there and do not allow snow or ice to accumulate on tree this Winter. This could just be the beginning of a graft failure.

How long have you had this tree @steve27 ?
Are these before or after pictures?
Both would help.
