31+ My Pine Tree Is Turning Brown From The Bottom Up. Evergreens attract a few common pests and diseases. I planted wilma pine trees in a line about two feet apart to form a hedge between me and my nosey neighbour but they have if only the inner needles turn brown while the outer needles remain green, it is the are they near a sprinkler system?

These mounded pine shrubs can grow up to 10 feet high and 15 feet wide, and they make for lovely hedges. If it is brown rough and hard, then it the stem of the plant becoming woody with age and will do the plant no harm. I have 4 pine trees (not sure the type but they look like christmas trees) in my back yard.
Initial symptoms include small leaves.
The foliage of the lower half of the tree turns brown in march to april. Each tree had a sprinkler head under it and were watered heavily twice a week. Pines loose up to 20% of their needles naturally every year so you can expect some browning and needle drop. Do you think your maple tree's health may be suffering?
