For most home owners, spruce needle rust is mostly a cosmetic disease and methods of control are usually unnecessary. In commercial industries, however, the adverse effect of the fungus on the trees may warrant treatment applications. Infected needles yellow and eventually fall, which can cause the tree to become thin-crowned and unmarketable. [6]
Chrysomyxa ledi var. rhododendri is a plant pathogen responsible for the disease spruce needle rust. It is present in European mountains, and especially in Switzerland in Grisons and Ticino between 1,000 and 2,000 metres.
Many pine trees turn yellow this time of year because of normal “needle drop” on the inside branches.
Picea abies, the Norway spruce [2] or European spruce, [3] is a species of spruce native to Northern, Central and Eastern Europe. [ 4 ] It has branchlets that typically hang downwards, and the largest cones of any spruce , 9–17 cm long.
Needles turn yellow or brown or drop off completely most often due to improper watering (too much or too little), drafts, or low light. You can trim off the brown branches with pruners, but be ...
The yellow-headed spruce sawfly, Pikonema alaskensis, is widely known in the northern United States and Canada as a destructive pest of spruce. [1] It attacks white, black, Norway, and Colorado blue spruces. The larvae at first prefer new foliage, but after becoming about half-grown, old needles are included in their diet too.
The plant pathogenic fungus Leucostoma kunzei (formerly Valsa kunzei) is the causal agent of Leucostoma canker (also known as Cytospora canker or spruce canker), a disease of spruce trees found in the Northern Hemisphere, predominantly on Norway spruce (Picea abies) and Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens).
The dissertation was titled Effects of acidic Precipitation on Scots pine and Norway spruce needles and their low temperature Tolerance.
