Help! What is wrong with my tree?

[Bwkoppen78]

We bought this house a year ago and my tree looked like this. We found Japanese beetles and started spraying for them last year. We will continue this year. Is that what caused this? Can I bring this tree back?

The tree is toast.

I agree. Why, though? Get some close up pics of the branches and trunk. It is a white pine...same as the one next to it. If it is a treatable pest, it might be worth protecting the other.

I've never seen Japanese Beetles as a pest on white pine.

We need more info on the tree and surrounding area.

Is that a pasture?

Some pesticides damage some trees.

I kinda glossed over the Jap beetle part! Yeah, like @Del_ said, not on White pine.

Post a pic of the bottle that you used for that spray...
