Answered for Plainfield, Hendricks County.
The main reason mature Scotch pine is disappearing from Indiana windbreaks and old Christmas tree plantings. In Plainfield, the most age-mixed canopy of the three: a genuine 1950s ring plus the pre-1900 Quaker core along Main Street (US 40) carries 60-to-90-year-old shade trees over the street, while Saratoga, Sugar Grove Farms and Legacy Farms hold 10-to-25-year-old planted stock, and the White Lick Creek bluffs hold the town's only real remnant woodland. Ash is gone here as everywhere in Indiana. 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.
