Dead Pine Needles Not Necessarily Cause for Alarm Dead needles in pine trees aren’t necessarily cause for alarm. It’s probably just Mother Nature doing her annual chore, Forester George D. Walker of the University of Georgia Agri cultural Extension Service said this week. Many People became alarmed when dead needles begin to ap pear on their trees in the fall, and the brown foliage seems to be exceptionally noticeable this year, Mr. Walker said. Hs advised persons who .are concerned about this to look closely at their trees: "If the dead needles are those fartherest from the tip of the branch it indicates natural shed ding. As long as the needles at the branch tips are green, there is little to worry about.” Entire branches die occasion ally due to shading, which is na tural as trees grow older and larger, he added. If needles at the tips of branches begin to die, it would be a good idea to consult the county agent or a forester who can check for insect or disease damage, Mr. Walker said.
