Needle Spot

About Needle Spot

This fungal disease causes small, reddish-brown spots with yellow halos on pine needles, leading to premature needle drop and thinning foliage. It primarily affects species like Austrian and Scots pine, especially in the humid conditions common around Franklin and Brentwood. Proper sanitation and fungicidal treatments can help manage needle spot and maintain tree health.

Needle Spot is a lawn or landscape disease commonly found in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Disease Identification Library.
