Certified ExpertA.Nope! They will produce both flowers on the same tree! The nuts will be found inside the cone once it reaches full maturity.

July 29, 2019Q.Do pine trees affect the growth of a vegetable garden?
I ask this because my vegetable garden has not done very well the last couple of years, even though I amend with compost & fertilize & water regularly.

July 29, 2019A.If the pine trees are large and overhanging the veggie garden, they yes of course, the shading would be a primary detrimental factor for a sun loving garden. Secondary would be competition from the pervasive root system for uptake of water and nutrients.
Another factor could be excessive needle drop and acidification.Your veggie garden needs open space, full sun and free from competitive growth.

Certified ExpertA.When evergreens finally show damage, the problem has been ongoing. It takes a long time for problems to show up in the way of dead needles. Yours is a beautiful tree and it looks like the browning is coming from the inside. Here are two articles that deal with browning needles that may help.

Certified ExpertA.Uh-oh. It sounds like a fungal infection started, and when it wasn't controlled, had spread!
I'm afraid that controlling the issue now will be near impossible. It can be treated, usually, if it is caught early, but once it spreads across species- It is no good!
You will likely be cutting them down soon. Just be sure not to replant any conifers in the area anytime soon.
For infections that become widespread, it is best to contact your local extension service. They will be able to help you stop the spread to other properties. This link will help you to find the closest one to you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/extension-search

Certified ExpertA.Pines will normally do this around Autumn. This is the time of year for shedding dead needles, and is not usually a concern, unless it starts losing enough to look bare.
