We have a few rows of 3-4 year old white pine ranging from 3-5’ tall. 2 trees are exhibiting brown shriveled tops with a white fungus looking substance on the main trunk and extending to the connecting branches. I’m not sure if this could possibly have spread from a Scotts pine that died 2 years ago within 30-40 yards of the white pine rows. We had it cut down this past early spring but some of the brush remains left to be burned. I did not die in the same manner as this current disease appears to be affecting the white pine. A large branch on one side turned brown and it took about 2 years for the rest of the tree to perish. I had believed that an attempt to kill off Autumn olive bushes under the tree (by someone else and against my desire to do so) is what actually killed the tree. It was about 35-40’ tall. I will attach pictures of the current affected trees. I want to do everything possible to attempt the stop of this disease. The lot that they are on is 3 acres with a neighboring 3 acre lot that is completely taken over by Autumn olive bushes on the south the North side has various trees and bushes dividing this and the adjacent property. East side is along a 6 acre pond and on the West, a county road which large lot residences. Upon attempting to upload pictures, I’m not able to attach. I will need to send them via Email. Thank you, Cindy
