Cultivating Healthy Plants
An IPM Webinar SeriesWhen Evergreens Aren't Green: Solving Conifer Health Mysteries
Conifers are a cornerstone of many landscapes, yet a wide range of diseases and environmental stresses can cause needle discoloration, branch dieback, and decline. This webinar will explore common conifer diseases and abiotic disorders, with an emphasis on recognizing the key signs and symptoms needed for accurate diagnosis. Participants will learn how to distinguish disease issues from environmental and cultural stresses, apply practical diagnostic techniques, and implement science-based, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies to support healthy, resilient trees in landscapes and gardens.

Eva Grimme, Ph.D. is the Plant Pathologist at Montana State University’s Schutter Diagnostic Laboratory, where she specializes in diagnosing plant diseases and abiotic disorders affecting horticultural crops and landscapes. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in horticulture and plant health, she delivers science-based, IPM-focused solutions and educational programs that support homeowners, landscape professionals, and communities across Montana in growing healthier, more resilient gardens and landscapes.
