Default Spruce rust?

Living here for 24 years, I am familiar
with white pine blister rust (endemic so
I sacrificed a favoured 20 ft. white pine a year
ago). Is there a similar disease of spruces
or other fir-type evergreens? The brown
coloration on my 5 ft spruces certainly
looks like rust. Advice welcome.

"Spruce Needle Cast." I just found out about it a few months ago; my
60+ foot spruce tree has it. I gotta figure out how to safely spray a
tree that big.

Best regards,
Bob
