| We have just purchased a home with a large Blue Spruce (approx. 20 ft. high) in a relatively small back yard. There is a concrete driveway nearby and a concrete patio. The tree has approximately 10' x 18' feet of ground surrounding it, with the tree sitting to one end of the longer area. The branches look healthy enough from the outside but looking inside, these branches are bare..no sign of brown needles, though. What kind of care should this type of tree get? Some barren, dead branches near the bottom were removed in late fall. |

You could also fertilize with any fertilizer designated for pines and spruces, carefullyfollowing package instructions. the problem.
