Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) Eastern white pines (Pinus strobus; EWP) have been suffering from serious health issues for over a decade now. Most importantly, changes in our regional climate have facilitated severe outbreaks of needle blight diseases. As one of the most common and largest tree species in our urban and suburban landscapes, direct management of EWP pathogens and insect pests may be necessary to maintain tree health. This talk will summarize the latest research findings from the USDA NE1601 working group that is focused on EWP health throughout its natural range. The group comprises University researchers, state and federal forest health professionals and management foresters. The underlying causes of EWP health issues will be reviewed along with cultural and chemical management options for trees in urban and suburban settings.
