What can I plant that is immune to this.

White pine

@@fullbarsonly5375 Your right I have 6 of them, but I don't want anymore White pine. When they shed needles it's a mess. Thank you anyways 😊.

I believe junipers.

@@karenturcola4524Any species of spruce or fir that is native to Asia, Africa, Europe, or eastern North America should work well. Western US species is what I would avoid except for some exceptions

Using the fungicide option can come back to haunt you. There is a limit to how big of a tree that can be properly treated. So instead of having a small dead tree, you end up with a big dead tree..... aka, instead of having a small tree that costs a few hundred to remove, you have a big tree that can cost a few thousand to remove.

@@bksaun haha, Yea I've taken down 30' trees no problem. I am moreso commenting on a condition like my neighbor is facing. Dude has a privacy screen of twenty 40' tall spruces (against fences, his pool, and septic leach field) that he's been paying a grand per year treating for needlecast over the past decade. Now that they're too big to spray, he's looking at a removal cost over $20,000. Wouldve been a lot easier and cheaper to remove them when they were 20' tall.

Logi Tech ahh, then he should climb them, limbing on the way up, bucking on the way down every 3-4 ft, you should watch him while enjoying a cold beer, in a shady spot if possible!😝

Assuming he is physically able... Sounds like you would make an excellent neighbor. Independent type. Getter dun yerself.
