Like travelin Johns post, I would also be interested in a tree ID sight, as I feel kind of stupid asking for help when I really don't know what kind of tree I'm dealing with. At any rate, they are tall, fifty or sixty foot pines that to me look like spruce. About twenty foot diameter at the bottom, short needles and smallish closed cones about three to four inches long and an inch or so in diameter. A lot of the bottom limbs are totally dry and dead and on some of the trees it has progressed up quite a ways, some as much as 3/4 up. I have trimmed the dead branches off some of the trees, but I am concerned about what can be done to prevent further spread or is this normal. It seems to work it's way up from the ground limbs. Do they need to be watere fed or just removed? Can this process be reversed or stopped. Thanks for any help.
