VerifiedHello .. typically when a pine has the needles turn brown , it is done .. ever green is ever green . This could have been water issue , or could have been freezing .. My guess is that the trees did not get really established in their new place .. maybe root bound
most nurseries have a one year warranty on trees and bushes .,. I would try for a replacement .. and also get their assessment and advice on what might have happened to yours ..
Any thoughts , concerns ?
