Questions About Pine Trees

    Are you planning on planting more pine trees? As a rule, pine trees like rich, well draining soil that's a little bit acidic. You can achieve this by mixing regular garden soil with compost (for nutrients and good drainage). There are a few ways to lower the pH of soil, but first conduct a soil test to see if you even need to. Pine needles are very acidic, so incorporating some into the soil should help with both drainage and pH.

    I am not certain. I cannot locate the article in question. I would ask a healthcare professional, as we cannot give advice like this. You will have to try any alternative methods at your own risk.

    Usually by this point it is too late, unfortunately. These will do extensive damage to the tree, inside and out. You can talk with your local extension service to see if they have any advice on what to do from here.

    Make sure your container has enough drainage. This sounds like the beginning of a soil infection.I would recommend some wettable sulfur, and a tiny sprinkle of dolomitic lime. This will help take care of it, but since the tips are dying, it will likely change the overall shape of the tree over time.

    Your state extension service has a detailed article on the best conifers for Montana. Page 72 discusses windbreaks/shelterbelt plants.

    This will depend on the exact issue at hand. Can you include a photo, your USDA zone and any information about the exact type of pine, and its soil or location? This will help me to know what is going on with them.
