Thousands of Pine Trees are totally brown

Anyone else seeing lots of pine trees in their areas that have gone completely brown? I'm sure it's related to the drought we've had. I'm seeing them everywhere here in central Mississippi.
Tree experts: Are they probably dead? Or just in some kind of emergency hibernation?

Things that are green turn brown during a drought and at the start of fall.

could be the southern pine bark beetle. there is supposedly big infestations going on. i know a couple of people that had to have the pines in their yards cut down because they died almost overnight due to the beetles.

I took a tour up through Natchez and into northern Louisiana a couple of weeks ago and remember seeing quite a few of old large pines turning brown.

Pine trees are trashy

That cold cold snap we had last Christmas, a wetter than normal spring in most places, and this drought and heat has taken its toll on some of the weaker trees.
Now in the Delta there are large stands that are dying and the states are blaming on brown spot needle blight instead of the real cause which is herbicide drift

I'm sure older or diseased trees succumbed to the drought conditions this summer if they weren't given supplemental water.
I saw some browning of needles on my pines even though I watered them but if the entire tree is brown needles I would think it is done for.

As long as it’s not pine beetles they are good. Drought gets pine beetles into the trees though. I dropped two last week and it wasn’t cheap.

Once a pine turns brown that shite ain't coming back. Lots of other dead oaks too in central LA to central MS.

I noticed this when I traveled between BR and Memphis last week (I can't get enough Murdertowns, apparently).

If the trees are still alive it could be a needlecast disease. Basically the needles get a fungus (i think)and all die. They then come back. But that usually happens late spring/summer

Sounds like those pesky pine beetles.

When pines turn brown it’s usually over.
Most of the off-site pines trees in the delta of NELA that I’ve seen are dead or dying, either from the drought or bugs. Off-site since pines naturally grow in hill dirt. Bugs (SPB, etc.) seek out weakened and/or older trees.

Lots of trees of all types are stressed and dying from the drought.
