hey tom are you saying these pines are thirty years old ?? im probably confused here i usually am
but if these are mature trees and for fl they are or are close to it in the pulpwood side of trees better be sure before you cut them down pulp wooders really dont care what they have they pay by weight or scale i think i would be sure what the problem is first here in fl we can sure grow a tree quick and or get a disiese misdiagnosed re citrus canker etc etc wait a bit on those trees really dont think it will hurt until you are sure what is happening here after the great fires here in fl i guess i happened to be one of the few not willing to rip off the insurance companies. removing so called dead pines. yearly anomalies happen for more reasons than us so called amatuers and any experts can guess at id say wait untill you are sure on them
