what kind of dirt/loom should I fill the huge holes with, that later if I decide to plant more trees will be good to plant in? thank you
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.
My husband, awhile back, found a 3-ingredient tea recipe, using pine needles-- and it was for prostate health-- we can't seem to locate the post!!!! Any idaas??
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.
Upon returning from wintering in Florida, I discovered several patches on two of my pine trees. The patches look as if someone scraped away the bark and drilled holes into my trees. Several articles tell me it's too late - destroy the trees. They're big and beautiful- about 9 feet and symmetrically gorgeous. Any suggestions on how to save my trees and how to protect surrounding trees? I live in northeast Pa about 45 minutes east of Harrisburg - Schuylkill County. Thank you.
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.

Pine tree's I've got them in big plant pots but one is growing great but the other one looks like its not as it's tips are getting brownerplease help as I'm trying to learn but gardening is hard for beginners lol.x
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.
What would be the best pine tree to plant as a wind/snow screen in south/central Montana? (zone 4)
This article will be of some assistance here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/gardening-by-zone/zone-4/zone-4-evergreen-trees.htm
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.
