Pinus sylvestris (Brown spot needle blight ) 2020 photo - Common Name: Scotch Pine, Size at 10 years: 40ft., Green, USDA Hardiness Zone 2, In Garden Bed U3 for 22.8 YEARS (Build). Planted in 1997.
Scots pine is a species of pine native to Europe and Asia, ranging from Scotland, Ireland and Portugal in the west, east to eastern Siberia, south to the Caucasus Mountains, and as far north as well inside the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia. Bottom branches dying.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Brown spot needle blight is a fungal disease of pines caused by Mycosphaerella dearnessii. It affects much pine in the Midwest including mugo, Japanese black, Virginia, eastern white pine, and most noticeably Scots pine. It is similar in appearance and can be confused with Dothistroma needle blight which is more commonly found on Austrian and ponderosa pine in the St. Louis area.
It generally starts on the lower branches and moves up the tree. It also favors the north side of the plant which is more humid. The blight is most damaging on small trees but over time can retard growth and weaken mature trees.
