Pine trees
 
Anyone know why so many pine trees are turning brown around several area ponds? I have seen this on at least 4 golf course ponds.

Probably cypress trees? If so, perfectly normal.

They are deciduous conifers which lose their needles each year

Some have been underwater with the heavy rains this fall. They will die. Several in/by the ponds on 441 near OBG look like they are past the point of being saved.

Not Pine Trees. They are Cypress trees.

They are Cypress and aren't dead and won't die.

I stand corrected! They looked like very damaged pines to me. I hate to see trees lost, so I'm glad I was wrong. I'll look forward to watching them green up in the spring!

I too am glad they are not pines. Hope to see them green up in the spring. Thanks for the info.
