Hi!

Short story
I'm from Ukraine and I bought a little pine in local garden centre in a middle of March 2023. I shaped it, removed about 30% of roots, and about 30% of branches and needles, processed slices, repoted into ceramic pot with about 60% akadama, 30% kiryu, 10% lava rock (in the bottom).

I live in a house in the suburbs, I put my new bonsai outdoors on sunny place (only 15:00-18:00 was semi shadow).
I watered my pine ~ 1 time for 2 days when soil become dry in 1 inch depth.

For about 2 months wheater was cold for spring ~5-10C and rainy with strong winds.
Fortunately everything was fine.

1 of May 2023 - added fertilizers (5 pieces of dry fertilizer organic biogold 1:1:1), Ive changed location of my pine for better view into - half a day sunny, half a day shadow/semishadow, weather became sunny all day and about 20-25C, also I watered my pine more often but only when soil became dry in 1 inch depth.

For about 2 weeks everythind was fine but about 1 week ago Ive noticed that needles in some branches began to turn yellow and falling (from the underside of the branches - which is can be normal for pines as I discovered in some videos and internet)

But the needles in lowest branch start turning into brown immediately - on this branch i accidentally created a lot of bark when I cut off the small brach, and I guess this branch is dead now, because it completely dry and its ends immediately break.

After all Ive decided to replace pine again into first (sunny) place and removed all pieces of fertilizer.

1) I think the branch with brown needles is dead and need to be cutted, or can I left the branch and remove only needles?
2) I think the yellow needles is a consequence of insufficient watering or maybe burned roots (removed fertilizer just in case)

I need an advise what should I do. I think my tree is still ok, but only with 1 dead branch because of the big cut. Candles continuing to grow, green needles hold on tight.

Ive made a few photos today 29 of May 2023 and attached them

1) What to do with branch with brown needles?
2) What should I do with fertilizers?
3) How to fix the problem with yellow needles or maybe this behaviour is ok?
