Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know a local arborist or a forestor.
Tried UNH last year and didn't get any answer. Thanks

We have had a hemlock privacy fence between the next door neighbors and ourselves. Sad to say this year there seem to be such a number of branches that are now just brown thin sticks with all of the green gone. Now one sees through the trees and the fear is that they will loose all of their needles. Please keep us informed as to what could be doing this as it even seems that some other trees may have some of the problem but maybe not as severe? It could be just winter kill in the arbs I guess. The hemlocks are definitely sick. Don't know what to do so want to find out the cause although fear it may be too late to save them. Feel really awful about this. Planted some from seedlings that were found all around the lot and they had done well in making a nice privacy wall.
