Southern pine beetle activity is picking up again this season across the region.
This pest can kill a healthy pine within weeks once it takes hold. Watch for popcorn-shaped resin blobs on the bark and needles fading from green to yellow to reddish brown.
Pines are often planted close together, so a single infested tree can spread the problem to its neighbors quickly.
Catching an infestation early gives the rest of a pine stand a much better chance of staying healthy.
