My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

White 'stuff' on white pine?

16 years ago

I'm hoping someone can identify this white fuzzy "stuff" that has appeared (relatively quickly, though it has been searing hot and moist and I haven't actually been outside a lot lately -- noticed this from my window today) on the bark of a white pine. It's out of my reach for the most part, but I was able to scrape a bit from a lower branch and it doesn't squirm and wiggle (though that was based on the naked eye -- I didn't have a microscope).

I am also hoping if someone CAN identify it, that it isn't something that needs spraying. This tree is on the edge of a native woodlands (mostly deciduous -- a few conifers like this) BUT it is also on the edge of bird and butterfly garden, so I don't want to spray anything toxic!

Any ideas?
