I have a mature loblolly on which the needles started dying this summer. Now, almost the whole tree is covered in red, wilted needles. I see that pine wilt will sometimes affect loblollys and we have a lot of pine sawyer grubs around as a result of lots of downed pines from hurricane Isabel two years ago.
Is there any other likely cause for this, and is it pretty much a certainty that the tree is dead at this point?
