Pine trees are used extensively across North Carolina to landscape homes, businesses and parks, and they make up a considerable proportion of our forests. Pines are generally free of serious disease problems. This information note is intended to be used as an aid in identifying and controlling the more common pine diseases. The control measures suggested may not be economically practical in large plantings or forests.
