New Bosnian pine picked up at HD, 50% Off Sale
Grabbed too many at once and missed the dripping white sap..! Would like to ID before deciding what to do with it. I don’t see boring holes, but the branch is swollen, bark has white haze, white sap with brown needles. Fungus!? NorthEast..
Anybody have experience with this one?
Thanks so much
KD

Well, that dead stuff is not going to come back to life, so cut it off and do a little autopsy of it.
Do you see things inside the wood?
Do you see discoloration of the wood?
Do you see a green line of cambium?
etc.

Thank you so much for the feedback!
I hope it is just damage and sap flow.
