Also when i H2O it the dirt stays wet though grows the little kind of white moss. greatfully any assistance would be grateful
If all the unnecessary have fallen, it is passed or scarcely dead. It is an evergreen which equates to it should regularly have immature needles. This is an outward tree, as well as if we have been gripping it inside, which is the certain approach to kill it.
I needs the cold winter so it can go dormant. If we would similar to finish caring instructions, email me during

Another tip, if we have been gripping indoors, take it outward RIGHT NOW, take it out of the pot, as well as plant it in great dirt for the rest of the winter. This MAY help, though usually the slight chance.

If all the needless have fallen, it is dead or nearly dead. It is an evergreen which means it should always have green needles. This is an outdoor tree, and if you are keeping it inside, that is a sure way to kill it.

Cut it back, take all the dead off it.put it in the sun with some shade.outside..some water but not much.take some dirt out from around the roots,not the dirt ON the roots ,just around it.and replace with some good rich dirt.put some other living plants around it within a foot or two.Good luck

From your description it sounds like it's toast. Sorry. You can try some of the suggestions given by others above, but it will likely be futile.
If you've removed a section of the trunk bark, and the Cambium layer is brown (the thin green layer of living vascular tissue between the hardwood and the bark which is responsible for the transportation of water and nutrients between the roots and leaves), that means that its no longer viable. Or in more simple terms, the tree is dead.

Think of a Christmas tree sawed from it's roots. It's dead but stays green for a few weeks after, so if your conifer (evergreen) has brown needles dropping of, sigh, yes it's long dead.
I hope you weren't keeping it inside? You don't mention where you live but that's why we have indoor and outdoor plants. Bonsai'd or not, pines are an outdoor plant. Conifers may be brought inside for exhibition for up to 3 days depending on how dry and hot it is inside but living indoors will kill it. If it turned brown within 3 weeks of your receiving it then a dead tree was bought and I'd take it back to seller.
If any of it is still green try putting it outside burying its container in the ground. If you are in a Northern climate that may be too much of a shock after being indoors so put in a greenhouse or unheated garage by a window.
If you water and it stays wet it's either in severe shock or it's dead and can't "drink". Stop watering.
If you feel it is alive you could also try pruning it back but remember to leave some growth on a branch. Conifers do not "back bud" so avoid cutting a branch back with nothing living left on it. Always leave a bit of needle on a branch when you shorten it.
