Thanks for the compliment on the spruces! It sounds like your trees in Georgia are facing a challenge. The symptoms you're describing - thin lower limbs, knots, and resin leakage - could be signs of a borer infestation. It's a common issue with spruces, especially when they're stressed. I'd suggest contacting a local arborist or tree specialist for a closer look and treatment options. Early intervention can make a big difference. Keep up the good care, and let's hope your spruces bounce back soon! And remember, for more tree tips and updates, hit that subscribe button!

It sounds like your spruce might be dealing with aphids or another type of pest common to spruces. It's good that you've already taken action by spraying. Sometimes, it might take a few treatments to fully manage the pests, and using a specific insecticide designed for spruce pests can be more effective. Monitoring the tree regularly will help you catch any resurgence early. Keep up the good care, and thanks for updating us on your tree’s progress!

Recently traveled and saw Colorado blue spruce..... I wish I can keep them indoors in Florida 😂

Planting a row of blue spruces sounds like a wonderful project! To ensure they grow uniformly in height and width, here are a few tips: Firstly, choose trees that are similar in size and shape when you purchase them. Plant them in well-draining soil and ensure they receive consistent and adequate water, especially in their early years. Regularly check for pests or diseases, as these can affect growth. Additionally, providing similar sunlight exposure for all the trees can promote even growth. While nature always has its own course, these steps can help you get as close as possible to your goal.

Great questions! These Colorado Blue Spruces are thriving in Zone 4, but I'll keep the exact state a secret - let's just say it's somewhere where these trees feel right at home! As for synthetic treatments, I'm not an expert in that area. I recommend consulting a local arborist or a tree care specialist for the best advice. They can provide tailored suggestions for your specific needs and environment. Thanks for your interest and don't forget to subscribe for more tree updates!
