Watch out for

Honey fungus: Improve drainage and avoid planting in infected soil; remove affected trees to prevent spread.

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

Adelgids: Apply horticultural oil during dormancy or use systemic insecticides for severe infestations.

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

Root rot: Plant in well-drained soil and ensure pots have adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
