Watch out for

Honey fungus: Improve drainage and avoid planting in infected soil; remove severely affected plants.

Aphids: Wash off with a strong jet of water or treat with insecticidal soap if infestations are heavy.

Adelgids: Apply horticultural oil during the dormant season to target overwintering eggs.

Needle cast: Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to keep foliage dry.

Winter desiccation: Plant in a sheltered position and water deeply before the ground freezes in autumn.
