Answered for Speedway, Marion County.
The main reason mature Scotch pine is disappearing from Indiana windbreaks and old Christmas tree plantings. In Speedway, no public street-tree inventory has been published for Speedway, so species counts are UNVERIFIED. Because the residential core finished building out by the mid-1950s and has barely been rebuilt since, much of the yard canopy is likely of comparable age and large enough to close over narrow streets and 40-to-50-foot lots — an inference from build-out dates, not a measured finding. The exception is Main Street, where a town streetscape reconstruction installed all-new landscaping, so those trees are recent. There is no cure once symptoms appear.

The whole tree browns in a single season, often starting on one side. Needles stay attached.
There is no cure once symptoms appear. The tree needs removing promptly — dead pines are a fire and fall risk, and the beetles that carry the nematode breed in the dead wood.
Remove and destroy infected trees before the following spring, when the beetles emerge.
