[IBC] Spruce Budding
I have a Colorado Blue Spruce (Picea pungens) that was styled earlier this year
and it is still in the nursery can it came in. It has already set new buds for next year, very prolifically I might add. The needles on several of the existing shoots have died back, but the new buds are still very plump. There were so many in a few spots that I pinched them off, they were bright green inside. Is there a chance that the remaining buds will open, even if the needles on that shoot have died? Steve Parr - Cincinnati, Ohio - USDA Zone 6 "Now who's respon...

[IBC] Spruce Budding
Not much, Steve, but why worry? All those new buds you mentioned should
give you all the growth you'll need.
