Tree disease ? #793053

Asked May 28, 2022, 10:05 AM EDT

Hello, we recently moved into a house with a pine tree that looks like it might have a fungus. Can you confirm and recommend treatment? We are considering a fungicide. Thanks!

Kelly,

From looking at your pictures I believe you have lichens or you could have a needle scale. But I believe you have lichens follow the instructions in these fact sheets to treat your trees.
