Will this work on pines and conifers that have needle blight?

Is the needle blight caused by a fungus or just improper irrigation and water supply?The soil type also plays a role. Copper is for fungal diseases and needle blight is a nonparasitic disease. Better check with some tree expert

I used it to saturate the soil around the house, I would think it would work here as well.If the tree is or was infested, it may die.

No clogging at all with pine needles, which was my concern. Tree pollen is different, and varied. I think it is work a shot to try a few feet for a test.

I am not sure. I use it to prevent scab on leaves and brown rot on the fruit of my apple and plum trees. The label does not mention spruce at all.

I use Noxall within about 5 feet of pine trees on my gravel drive and it has had no effect on them for the 5 years I have used this product. I would stay away from directly under the tree if possible, tho, just in case. I understand the product kills within about 6-8 inches of the surface by forming a level that does not allow root penetration.

I've tried on maple and crab apple tree and seemed to work. I did have to treat it over couple of seasons though.

Pine needles are not problem beacuse they have a low density and diameter. You may have to use the plunger (provided) to push them through. I have chipped small branches (fresh or dried out) up to 1/2 inch in diameter. Makes a great way to also clear out blackberry vines.

I'm sorry I don't know for sure. I did read on one web site that it did work but that is a vary invasive bug. I would highly recommend either contacting Bayer through their web site or checking the Arbor Socitey web site or your local cooperative extension. This product has been excellent in keeping aphids and other bugs off my trees. It does work for the full 12 months.

I have only used this for mildew on blackcurrant bushes. Frankly I was not impressed and the fungus remained whilst the leaves were still on. Maybe you will have better luck. Mike D.

I assume that it will. However, it will not kill the roots, it just destroys above ground vegetation, all vegetation. I used it to kill raspberries, a plant that is very hard to kill.

I've cut pine saplings the size of my thumb and trimmed back overhanging rhododendron branches. It should do fine. As with a previous answer, a lopper would do better for anything over an inch.

It will pick up and mulch the needles. I am not sure about small twiggy branches. Also, our pine trees are surrounded by dirt. It doesn't work well on this surface as it picks up small pebblesand dirt as well. If your pine needles have fallen on a grass, cement, asphalt or wooden surface it would work.

I'm going to say probably. Works great for deer, rabbits and small mammals. This year when I planted my blubs, which if you don't cover they get dug up, I sprayed my Deer Off in all these areas on the soil. NOTHING...came to dig them up. GREAT stuff.

I'm not sure that pine needles would be mulched. My experience with the WORKS is with dry oak leaves with acceptable mulching. The mulching part of the WORKS is two lengths (12" long) of string trimmer line held on a 3" hub. Maximum mulching of leaves occurs at the ends of the strings.

Not at all! It works terrible on seed ticks or anything very small. We had to use tweezers.

Yes, but with difficulty on larger trees. We use it to kill mesquite trees which stump sprout after cutting down. It usually takes several applications.

We have only used it on pine, so far. It does seem powerful enough to use on any wood. We have been very pleased with it.
