I ted a new for tree in my front garden, about 8 week ago, now the needles are brewing and falling off, the tree has been well watered, and had both compost and bonemeal when planted.

Hi JenniferRD
Do you know the species of tree ? It is quite normal for Pines , Cypresses and Cedars etc. ; plus many others to shed their needles at this time of year .
Honestly now sure, but just seems it rather a lot of needles, and I wondered if any specific feed/ treatment could help?
I think it's normal for it to seem like lots of needlees. I have a pine tree which always drops needles at the end of September and creates a thick carpet of needles underneath.
Not a particularly noticeable phenomenon when you look at the pine-tree , but all the needles are shed at this time of year ; it's a gradual process only apparent if you sweep them up every day !
