Hello all:
I have a pine tree that is at least 4 ft. cir. at base and about 45 ft. tall. For the last two winters, it has been losing the ends of its branches (about 4-6 inches). The needles are green and not showing signs of disease or infestation. The ends on the ground are becoming numerous this winter and I'm wondering if the tree is under some form of stress or is dying. Can anyone shed light on this issue for me? It appears that the ends are just snapping off, not being chewed.
Thanks.
