Q.dying pine tree
My white pine is losing and dropping green needles. It was very late in producing new candles and then they were very small and not growing (one half inch). Others in yard same age with candles 5″ long. It appears to be losing more needles at the top of the tree. Is this a disease?
There can be many reasons for needle loss, including natural aging, environmental, disease and pests.
Look for more signs to help narrow and pinpoint the cause.
