    Default My Blue Spruce needs help!!!

    This 15 yo girl sheds her 2-3yo needles every year and looks like she's in bad overall health. Anyone got any suggestions before I call up the arborist?

    Have you been fertilizing it with spikes?

    Looks like winter damage, which could be a sign of dehydration? Do you water in the fall? A couple deep waterings late in the fall before the ground freezes could help.

    No spikes. I should have mentioned these were taken last fall -but it happens every fall.

    I do water in the fall but I have heard of both water too much/not watering enough. So I'm not quite sure.

    Tough to water too much. I had a pair of 60-footers and I'd leave the hose on gently for days.
    Iron Chelate helps with bringing back some blue.

    Never heard of watering too much. Calgary is almost a desert.
