Large Pine Trees Are Dropping Green Needles

Question From: Brookfield, Wisconsin, United States
Q: We have a lot of very tall pine trees in our yard. There are thousands of 2-4" tips with green needles that are falling off many of the trees. Can you explain why this is happening? It has never done this before. We live in southern Wisconsin.

A: If you value that tree I recommend you have an on-site inspection from a certified arborist. A bad guess could cost you the tree. To find a professional in your area go to www.tcia.org. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
