When should I treat for pine wilt?

Answered for New Palestine, Hancock County.

The main reason mature Scotch pine is disappearing from Indiana windbreaks and old Christmas tree plantings. In New Palestine, new Palestine appears in no published street-tree inventory. Because the bulk of the housing is post-1990 subdivision on former cropland, the dominant condition is young-to-middle-aged planted stock, with ash already removed statewide by emerald ash borer. There is no cure once symptoms appear.

New Palestine's canopy and what's at risk

New Palestine appears in no published street-tree inventory. Because the bulk of the housing is post-1990 subdivision on former cropland, the dominant condition is young-to-middle-aged planted stock, with ash already removed statewide by emerald ash borer.

What to look for

The whole tree browns in a single season, often starting on one side. Needles stay attached.

Whether the tree can be saved

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.

Timing in Hancock County

Remove and destroy infected trees before the following spring, when the beetles emerge.
