Expert Response

Hello Sandra -
I found a link that has a run-down of possible problems with your white pine.  Having an arborist take a look is a good idea. https://extension.psu.edu/eastern-white-pine-modern-disease-threats-to-a-historically-important-species

This link recounts possible treatments, although an arborist might have some newer ideas better suited for Michigan.
