Best Answer

When the needles on your white pine tree turn brown, they are wilting or dying because they are not adequately nourished. What you can do for them is ensure that the plant receives plenty of sunlight and water, and prune any browning or dead needles regularly to improve the health of the rest of the tree.

Either your plant has a disease or the pines on the other tree are smothering your plant so that branch doesn't get enough sunlight and/or water and dies.
