How to treat Pencil Pine balding on one side in Queensland?

I have a few pencil pine at my front yard and they have been healthy and require fairly low maintenance. 

But recently I found that the youngest two pine of the brunch are getting bald on the right side of lower trunk.    I attached two photos here, the first one was taken from the heavy one, and the second one was taken from the two balding ones.

Is there anything I can do about it.  Is that because of all the heavy rain here in queensland?  Cos the sick ones are both located at the downside of a small slope.photo_6289356401398628885_y.jpg photo_6289356401398628886_y.jpg

Re: Pencil Pine balding on one side (QLD)

Hi @my2108,

 

You would mix 5ml of the Yates Liquid Copper Fungicide with 1L of water, mix it well, then apply it to the soil and the plant.

 

Hopefully this will help.
