thanks michael

will be able to tell you what this growth is i would imagine

Many pines are vulnerable to mites, when I want to get serious with pesticides I mix 3 parts clensel and 1 part rogor with water. I do not like to use rogor very often as it is quite a nasty chemical........the bugs think so too.
