Hi all, I'm up north in Ottawa Canada.
I have an eastern white pine growing on a hill, right now it appears to have been attacked by beetles (not sure which kind) as there are a number of pitch tubes (thick and pinkish, a bit disturbing to look at) near eye level , and the needles are getting yellower by the day despite there having been heavy rainfall in the area lately.
I really want to know if there's anything I can do to save this tree at this point - is it possible that it'll survive on its own? Or should I remove it so as to prevent the beetles from infecting nearby pine trees, which luckily are located a good two hundred feet away, but still within their range I suppose.
Many thanks!!
