Thanks, everyone! Great info and I'm glad to hear this is "normal".

Hi..

We just (Summertime) planted 7 beautiful, 12' Colorado Blue Spruce as
landscape trees at our home.

I noticed a few days ago that many of the interior needles on each of
the trees are various shades of yellow and brown. Some of the brown
ones feel 'crispy' and fall off at the touch, which would lead me to
think they did not get enough water.

While your trees may be normal, you should read about spruce needle cast
disease. I lost one to this in the spring and another is looking bad.
