Symptoms
Japanese white pine tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 50℉. In winter, it needs to be maintained above 14℉. If temperatures drop below -4℉, while no immediate winter changes might be apparent, branches can become fragile and parched by spring, with no new growth appearing.
Solutions
During spring, remove any lifeless branches that haven't produced fresh foliage.

Symptoms
In summer, Japanese white pine should be kept below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 86℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in hue, their tips could dry and shrivel, and the plant becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade fabric to provide cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
