How do I get rid of the white pine weevil?

The browning is only at the very top, about a foot or less down. See attached pics. The tree is approximately 15 feet tall, and the rest of the tree looks very healthy. You can see there is a brown branch or two that is curling........

I have a 15 year old blue spruce in my front yard, which is starting to turn brown at the very top. My neighbor also has several larger blue spruces which are in much worse shape; one of them, the entire side has lost all of its needles. A local nursery owner mentioned there is a blight or...

Canyon Angler - we've had a ton of rain this year, then some very hot, dry weather, where the ground was showing cracks. I put some mulch down around the trunk since seeing the browning going on (even though when I felt the ground around the trunk, the soil was still somewhat moist). What's odd...

I have several small Dawn redwood trees in my yard. These trees normally shed their needles in the fall, and are bare in the winter. On both of my trees, they are showing more and more brown needles, and it's not even August yet. I'm my area, we've had more than average rainfall (not flooding...

Thanks for the advice, no tree to big! I'll give it a shot in the fall, before all the leaves are gone.....

So it sounds like I can reduce the size, as long as I keep green leaves (and NOT trim it all the way back to bare wood), correct? I just need to carefully determine how far back the green leaves are, going towards the center of the loli. If this is the case, I would need to do this pruning...

I'm looking to keep the lollipop look. Question for "no tree to big"; if I do a pretty aggressive first year cut, how far back would you say I should cut it (thinking I would maybe trim the entire 'globe' back by a third?)? And what time of the year should I do it (thinking late winter, just...

I have an 18 year old lilac tree (see attached), that is in need of a radical pruning, without killing the tree. It is 9' tall, the top portion is 6.5' wide. The trunk is 4" in diameter. I've read somewhere on the internet that I can over the course of several pruning over several years, I can...
