Two years ago it was very stunted and barely growing. I realized it wasn't getting proper nutrition and so after I fixed that it has grown very fast and gotten it's "blue" coloring.
Last night we had heavy rain which turned into freezing rain then straight to a heavy, wet snow. I woke up to find my Blue Spruce completely bent and pinned to the ground! It's 12 feet tall so fairly large.
I removed as much snow as I could to free it but after doing so the trunk is severely bent, but not damaged or cracked. But the tree is sideways now 😥 To make things worse the tree that shaded it all these years broke, so with the quick, leggy growth and then this heavy snow dumped on it, I was aware it could lead to disaster.
Will it straighten out in a few days or will I be forced to cut it down? It's 30 years old and I was hoping not to cut it but I can't leave it like this.
