Why Pine Trees Drop Brown Needles


Listen Later

Pine trees turning brown and losing needles can be attributed to various factors. Common causes include natural needle aging, with older needles naturally turning brown and dropping off while new ones grow to replace them. Environmental stressors like drought and disease can also contribute to needle browning. It's important to note that some needle shedding is a normal part of a pine tree's life cycle. Regular tree inspection can help differentiate between normal shedding and issues that require attention. Proper care, including watering, mulching, and pest control, can help prevent excessive needle loss and maintain tree health.
