Answer:

Katherine Garland, Horticulturist

A number of issues can lead to browning needles. The University of Maine Cooperative Extension would be happy to take a look at a few pictures and learn more about what’s going on in order to hopefully diagnose the issue. Here’s a great video showing how to capture the most useful images for the diagnostic process.
