I have a Weeping White Pine tree in my backyard. this spring I noticed the needles turning tan. some more than others and some not at all. Last year it was fine. is this a water issue or is it some type of blight? Can any one help me out?
thanks

I am not sure of the age, maybe10 or less?? The base is about 6" diameter. We just bought the house last July and the tree didn't have this issue. So I don't know if the past owner treated the lawn with herbicide. the tree lives on a raised berm with some other junipers. I noticed on the "top" of the tree where the branch lays flat before it "weeps" down. the bark is very, for a lack of a better term, messed up. I will post a few pix. the weather has been nice and cool for the spring. a few days were up to 80 but mostly 60s. winter wasn't crazy, some snow and some freezing temps, nothing out of the norm.
also, I noticed the top portion of the tree seems more affected that the rest. if water from a sprinkler gets up there could it cause this?
thanks for your thoughts.
