There are several conifers in the yard that I would like to learn more about, especially the ones that appear to have damage or look like they could use some kind of help, be it for their health or just their general appearance. I know little about any of these trees because I've only lived here for a couple of years. Also, this is a VERY wooded area so folks don't do a lot of fussing, but still, as you'll see, some of these trees look like they could use help. These tress are in Cental Minnesota, on a lakeshore, Zone 3B.

I've numbering the pics, and also added a letter for detail pics of the same tree.

Thanks in advance for any help or information you can give.

I'm pretty sure pic #1 is a Pine Tree of some kind. You can see the left side is scrungier than the right, which might be from a sun issue (?) although just recently several Jack Pines were taken down. Is there anything I can do for its well being or appearance - or just leave it alone?
