Hi,

We had this issue last year and hoped it had recovered but it looks worse this year.

It’s a blue spruce that my parents purchased for us when we moved into our first home and we really would hate to lose it.

The tree is pretty much totally brown aside from (apparently) healthy new growth at the tips of every branch.

I’ve attached a photo to show what I mean.

Is this in anyway normal for this tree? Could it be due to the roots being stifled? It’s planted in a smallish area with lots of other smaller plants.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks.
