Living the Country Life Radio Program

But pine trees respond differently to pests and disease than deciduous trees, so it's important to consult a professional if your pine begins to show signs of poor health. In this episode of the Living the Country Life radio program, an arborist explains how oak trees might pass a deadly fungus to your pines.
