Browning tips! Overwatering or Underwatering? I don’t think I am overwatering him, the soil gets quite dry before it’s time to water again. Maybe too little water? Could it be sunburn? Could it be time to repot? And if I do repot, should I use regular soil or continue with the coco coir? #help

Planted this Eastern White Pine in approx 2007 or 2008 as a seed. This picture was taken in 2017 when it was still growing. Now it’s a gorgeous & tall pine tree that is thriving. The branches are all filled in as well…
