Have you noticed sad, unhealthy pines and spruces around your neighborhood? Learn why and help your conifers thrive with tips from MSU Consumer Horticulture Educator, Dr. Brent Crain.
What is afflicting conifers in Michigan? What causes our majestic blue spruce trees to drop their needles, our well established junipers to brown, and the general decline of our eastern white pines? Michigan’s
conifers are well adapted to yesterday’s climate and face distinct threats to their health and survival as our climate warms and precipitation patterns change. Trees stressed by changes in their environment often
fall prey to opportunistic pests and diseases, resulting in declining health and early mortality. We’ll examine some common problems, and discuss ways we can help conifers thrive in our landscapes, despite
the challenges they face.
