Our tree is the only one in the Katy, Tx area that this is happening to! We have to sweep piles and piles of needles each day! What other than the temperature could cause browning and loss of so many pine needles?

Pines lose their needles over a period of time and replace them with new ones. That is normal. However if your tree is experiencing mass needle loss all at once, your tree could be sick or in decline. There are numerous pine diseases. Do a search online for pine tree diseases or call your local forestry office and have a forester come out and look at your tree.

Pine needles definitely do fall off. Nonetheless, they dont all fall off without delay like most timber. Pine needles reside for roughly 2 years, in spite of once they started out growing. The truth that they dont all fall off at the same time of year is the purpose they're called "evergreens" considering that some needles stay on the tree during the wintry weather.

Pine Beetles. In the late afternoon put your ear to the side of the tree and you will probably hear them munching away. They usually start at the top of the tree and work their way down. If you have beetles, you should check with your county agent for a pesticide to get rid of them, because they will go from one tree to another. Some people I know have cut the tree down and burned it to keep them from spreading. I hope you don't have them, they are a real nuisance.

Sounds like some kind of insect infestation. Go to the local county extension office and they should be able to help you. If not, contact your local agricultural college or a landscaping company. Most landscape architects should know what is causing that. And most agricultural universities have a department that focuses on forest management, and they could tell you to a T what's wrong. I would think Texas A&M would have a good agricultural department that would know something about that.

Your tree probably has a fungus. That happened to my pine tree. You can spray it, but probably cutting it down will solve the problem. Check with your county extension office.
