A tree I planted has something attacking the needles, is there anything I can do, as the lower branches are more bare and I wonder if I should trim them off. A neighbor gets treatment for needle scale on his and I wonder if that is what my tree has too.
PS I think I may have done some drawings in your booklets back in the day when a grad students.
