They are everywhere in the trees. Pinebeetles !These three trees would have taken out my fence ,shop , and house ,plus vehicals . They had to come down and look , didn't break one leaf of the hemlocks or dogwood . The climber is 80 foot off the ground in one of my pic . He was worth every penny. digger
It had to be done,pine beetles
Last pic . See how close my other trees and shrubs were ? He eased the limbs down with a rope and didn't damage Anything .He also cut three tall hardwoods in back of the house . Same thing , no damage ! . This will give me a little more sun and backyard . the roots were cut on the hardwoods when a drain field was run , eight yrs. ago . the trees were beginning to die in the tops , threatening the house.

Shortleaf Pines?
Resin
Yes resin , there is a particular name for them . I don't know what the real name is . They aren't the only ones affected , but the beetles will get them first . D
Shortleaf Pine is Pinus echinata
Can you post a close-up of some foliage and cones?
