What To Do With Pine Needles. Pine needles are a scourge to many gardeners. While leaves that have fallen from trees can be easily raked up, blown away, or crushed underfoot, pine needles lie in ever-growing mats on the ground and are more difficult to remove.
As the larvae tunnel in the conductive tissue of the tree, they interfere with sap flow and destroy the cambium. Some of the sawyers, longhorned beetles, can carry the pine wilt nematode that compounds injury to the tree. Many pine borers carry fungi and increase the susceptibility of the host tree to these pathogens.
