    Care needs to be taken not to spill or slash any chemicals onto the grass or other trees.
    If you carefully paint the cut root ends then only those roots will take up the chemical.

    The sap of the tree can be seen more in the warm months of the year but sap is always flowing in the trees as it carries nutrients throughout the tree.
    Here are some links for you.

    Conifers produce different amounts of cones each year.
    As the tree ages it will generally have years of larger amounts of cones produced.

    Research does suggest that stressed trees will produce more cones.

    Correctly identifying the disease or insects is key to any possible treatments.
    Here are some links that may help pinpoint the cause.
    Consulting a certified Arborist to help make the correct diagnosis may be the best solution, especially if more trees may be involved.
    Contact your local County Extension Office, they are a valuable source of information on the local management of diseases.

    This will depend on the type and variety of Pine Tree you are growing.
    White Pine grows faster then other species, growing 8 to 12 inches per year.

    I have similar issues with Blue Spruce in my front yard.
    We have opted to remove all the lower branches about 8 feet up. This distance allows us to walk under the trees, mow and still leaves enough branches so that the trees don't look like umbrellas.
    Here are some articles that will help you.
