NH Tree Question
I was driving today on I-93 between Plymouth and Concord and noticed that many white pine trees alongside had turned a reddish or yellow color.
Is this a fungus or rust?
Hopefully the coming rainfall will help some because it has been extremely dry lately.

Those white pine trees are dying. I suppose it could be caused by dry conditions, or the tree being stressed by some other factor. However, it's most likely caused by the residual effect of road salt run-off. Hemlocks show salt damage the same way. A brown evergreen stands out like a sore thumb.

ayuh - as mentioned above - it's salt kill from the winter road treatment - usually, the trees can recover and will shoot out new growth

It feels great to be here in NH after living near the Kansas City metro area for over 20 years.

Congratulations on your successful move Plains! I hope you enjoy it here....if I remember correctly, didn't you live in NH previously? (If not, excuse the mistake, I have you confused with someone else <g>).
I saw some of your posts in another forum and I think you'll find the crosswalks much less "stimulating" in NH - at least up where we are, people are very courteous and careful to watch for those trying to cross a street and they actually stop for them.....unheard of in NYS from whence we came
