@Nautalax the easiest way to determine if you have bugs is to take a kleenex and remove some of the white stuff. Looking closely, do you see tiny green bugs under that stuff?

If so, get some dishwashing soap, dilute it a bit, and see if you can wash and rub the little buggers off. You will need to repeat this process until the plant is clean, and then you will need to watch to see if they come back.

@Nautalax looks like it's infested with insects at the bases of the needles. These insects are fluffy and hard to recognize.

If you get the pine clean, it may survive

If I'm wrong about the bugs, forgive me, I cannot blow the photo up enough to be certain

@LadyButterfly oops. Haha!

@LadyButterfly not bright, but very cute

@LadyButterfly after I wrote that, I did think how miraculous it is that in my lifetime, dogs have risen to a better status from the one where they were mainly a food animal. And I'm really happy about this!

@LadyButterfly I have it on good authority that it's me! 😂

@silence7 to be fair to #47, if we all get cancer, then another rich guy goes "ka-ching!"
