    Hello everyone, I have a question I hope you all can help me out with. My boyfriends parents have a weeping long needle white pine which has been in good health untill the other day. It apears to have a white fuzzy fungus growing on it. Very little on the truck, some on alot of branches. But most of it is on one branch very heavily and on many of the cones too. It seems worst on the cones, where the branches split and where the needles grow from the branches. It's not mealie bugs, not powdery at all. It's fuzzy, almost like cotton? I will try to attach some pics that I took of it. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions anything would help. Thanks for your time,

    Anna
