What Needlecast Is
Needlecast is a fungus disease which causes premature defoliation of spruce, Douglas fir, and pine trees.
What Chronic Needlecast Does to a Tree
Chronic infections will devitalize trees, causing branch dieback, especially on the lower portions of the tree.
Treatment and Prevention
Treatments are available to suppress needlecast, but planting conifers in full sun with adequate spacing to allow proper development is the key to prevention.
