Hi All,
Have been a bit of a Nervous Nelly as of recent. Dealing with pests and diseases has got to be my least favorite and least knowledgeable subject regarding horticulture. It would be great to establish this thread as a catalogue for all pests and disease issues and identification.
Here's my most recent potentially overreaction to things I have noticed on a somewhat sad looking JBP;
Recently the needles have began to drop and have what looks to be some needle casting. Will be spraying with a copper based fungicide today to began controlling the issue. After a closer inspection and reading recently an article about bores, I noticed a clump of sap and some blue-ish discoloration on the trunk in 2 places. Bores, I have read, typically carry the blue stain fungus and a usual indication that there is a bore is when there noticeable clump of sap. The pictures show sap leaking for this potential area and a blue looking substance on the trunk.
I'd like to open the floor to the forum...
