Post subject:  White Stuff on White Pine, possible fungus?

Hi all,

Some white stuff has appeared around the buds of some branches. There was a fair amount of sap bleed when I pinched the candles a few months ago. So I'm wondering is it a fungus or possibly an effect from the sap hardening?

Any ideas?

Looks like sap that's hardened around the cut areas. Nothing to worry about as its a natural defence mechanism for the tree if its been wounded.

Its when this years needles start turning brown and all falling off when you need to start worrying. Yours looks healthy, a nice bluey green colour there.
