I noticed deciduous trees and shrubs similarly affected the other day on
the Peggy's Cove road between French Village and Tantallon. All were
facing roughly south-west and were frequently close (the road's width)
to the sea - and the worst and most consistently affected appeared only
affected on the seaward side; I had assumed it must be due to salt
damage following the storm.

Prospect Head yesterday (July 12, 2014), we noted extensive browning of
vegetation which was attributed to salt burn associated with sea spray
from
Tropical Storm Arthur 8 days before, preceded and followed by hot, dry
weather.
At one point, a few of us paused and wondered about a strong smell of
caramelized sugar that seemed to come from a white spruce. (It reminded
me
of the smell from sugar cane mills in the West Indies in days gone by.) A
brief investigation revealed the source as the browned needles on branch
tips. A few pics at http://versicolor.ca/caramspruce
