Pine trees on property going full brown #870240
Asked May 27, 2024, 9:51 AM EDT
We live along a recently abandoned canal in SE Bend and we have numerous pines that are turning full brown. I don't believe the issue is the change in water but possibly some sort of insect infestation. Would help in identifying the source of the issue and what options there are for remedy. Would love to not have to bring the trees down if possible.
