Actually the pines I'm referring to aren't on my property - they're on
a state-owned park next door that receives no artificial watering or
fertilizing. And my information on the impact of global warming on
this blight comes not from green propaganda, but from a friend who did
her doctoral thesis on this particular root fungus.
