brown needles/white pine

Question
My pine is about 20 yrs. old. All the branches have brown needles at the very end. What is going on? Can I fix it? This follows two years of drought and a severe ice storm in Southern OH.

Answer
If the needles on the ends of the branches are turning then it sounds like the tree is dead. Sorry. Could be several reasons--the weather causing the tree to be weakened and then beetles would attack the weaken tree finishing it off. Same thing is true about a root fungi--weather weakens the tree and the fungi can infect the roots.
