Are There Issues That Only Effect Pine Trees?

5/29/2019

All around the globe, there are data regarding dying pine trees. There isn’t any more gorgeous than a healthy pine tree. However, it is important to remember that trees are living organisms. As such, they are vulnerable to trauma and diseases. Let’s take a look at issues that only affect pine trees and some remedies.

The Reasons

Pine wilt is due to Pinewood nematode, a bug in the pine sawyer beetle family. It feasts on the resin canal of the tree. This hinders the nutrients and water flow to the branches.

Attacking one branch at a time, the needles become brown, and the tree dies quickly. The only remedy for this disease is to cut the tree down and burn it. You can also schedule a tree removal service. The aim is to save your other trees from getting infested.

Diseases

Needle blight (dothistroma)is a slow-moving fungal infection found in the needles. You’ll know it when you see a white band in the middle of the needle that gradually turns brown. Ultimately, one half of the needle stays green while the tip becomes brown. If not treated, the tree will die, but the disease can be stopped using applications of copper fungicide.

Treatments

You can also treat diplodia by using a copper fungicide. This virus distresses separate branches on a tree, and you’ll spot it when the limbs start to leak resin and look underdeveloped.

Stress

The vital thing to remember is that trees suffer from anxiety and stress, making them susceptible to illnesses. Trees such as the Japanese black pine are more vulnerable because they have been damaged due to environmental problems including lousy diet and dehydration.

Maintenance

Perform a soil test every three years to make sure that your pine tree is receiving the right amount of water amount and food. Also, keeping your outdoor space neat and clean can lessen the risk of disease.
 
Moreover, you want to gather up fallen needles periodically and throw them out. Needles can hide parasites. Another suggestion is to trim dead limbs and disinfect your trimmers afterward. Make sure to burn the limbs.
