Blue Spruce Trees Are Losing Needles From Inside Out

Question From: J. Groff - Michigan, United States
Q: My blue spruce are losing thier needle from the inside out. They go brown, yet the tips are green (the blue has gone from most of them).

A:
Jeff, There are a couple of diseases attacking Blue Spruces that are caursing needle loss and loss of color.  Cankers are also prevalent as are mites. I suggest you have a certified arborist look at your trees and see if they are hopefully not too far gone.To find one in your area go to www.tcia.org. Best Nancy and thanks for using Yardener.com.
