Winter kill (Horticulture/Urban IPM)
Description:

Winter damage is widespread throughout Montana on evergreens this year (spruce, Douglas-fir, and pines). The damage consists of tips of the newest needles turning yellow, red, or red-brown. Entire branches might also be affected. The browning is from the outside inward. The windward sides are most strongly affected.
