My Blue Spruce trees have been deteriorating
-
Patricia W on Jun 30, 2013It does not sound like a water problem to me. Not with evergreens that are that mature. Their roots go way down, where the earth is moist. Your trees are established. Has the bark been cut around the area where it began to die? This sounds like insects or disease, especially since its begun with your neighbors trees as well. Take some samples to your local extension center and ask them to help. let us know!Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Jun 30, 2013There's been a notable decline in blue spruce in nearby Michigan. This article looks at some of the causes: http://www.caes.uga.edu/commodities/fruits/pecanbreeding/cultivars/alternate_bearing.html I would have a professional arborist come out and look. You definitely want to try to save trees of that size and beauty.Helpful Reply
