There is a disease that harms white Pines, that has moved into New England... it effects some trees and not others.. My condo property here in Ma. has had a deal with it alot... It is known as the blight... not only does it effect some trees but not others, but even further some trees seem to be able to recover from it but not others....
That being said, I also believe that road salt and the liquid bring they use todays on the roads has some bad effects as well....if you are on a busy road, that gets lots of salt and brine through the winter, it is not at all surprising, that grass trees and shrubs die off.....
