Pine tree problem

[Colin Stephens]

hi, I have a pine or fir tree in the garden that I inherited when I bought my house fifteen years ago. A plant I’d site suggests it is a Korean pine. For most of that time it has been fine, but in the last year or so there has been a distinct loss of needles from the ends of branches. A recent picture is shown below.

 

Can you suggest a solution please?

 

thanks.

Korean fir not pine

 

Hard to say from one pic what the issue  may be.

 

Might be  some fungal disease  id trim off affected growth
