Pine Tree Disease Prevention
Is your long needle pine declining with individual branches turning reddish brown. If so, your pine is very likely infected with diplodia (Sphaeropsis) blight. You can slow the process by allowing more air movement around the pine. Trimming and destroying infected branches and removing spent pine needles and pine cones will also help the tree as this is where diplodia over-winters. Having the pine foliar bark drenched at bud break and approximately ten (10) days later by a Certified Arborist will also slow the tree’s demise.
