    Since you mentioned "brown needles" I am going to assume we are talking about a pine tree - please correct me if I am wrong. What type of pine is it? After your tree was transplanted, what care did you provide it with regards to water, fertilizer and mulching? I am just wondering if maybe it suffered from transplant shock? When was it transplanted?

    Secondly, are all the needles on your pine tree brown? Are entire branches brown or just the tips? Is it only brown on the bottom branches? Is the new growth turning brown? When did the needles start browning? Needles will sometimes turn brown after a cold dry winter, in such a case it just needs ample water and general care.

    There are many reasons for browning pine trees, such as root rot, fungus/blight (fungicide would be applied), and pests such as pine tip moths (insecticide would be applied), just to name a few. Many of these causes are discussed in the links below.

    Winter can be harsh on the gardens, plants and trees.

    Since we are just entering spring, allow your trees to wake up before judging if you have lost a tree.

    Here are a few links that may be of help.

    I think you are talking about 2 different trees. A newly planted tree will be the most vulnerable.

    Pine trees are very difficult or impossible to propagate from cuttings but you can give it a shot. Here is an article that will be helpful:

    Geraniums, on the other hand, root easily from cuttings. Information on how to propagate from cuttings can be found here:

    Other than pruning away the pine branches that are causing the problem, there is little you can do to prevent tree sap from occurring. This is simply a natural thing--though I feel ya. It does indeed get everywhere. Here is an article for removing sap that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/how-to-remove-tree-sap.htm

    If you are seeing increased sap from the tree, it could be a sign that there are pests on the tree. As a precaution, I would treat the tree with a insecticide to deal with any possible pest infestation.

    The increased sap could also be from stress. A very wet or dry spring may have brought it on.

    The sap should return to normal either when the pests are dealt with or the seasonal stress is gone, which ever was the cause.
