I have 3 black hills spruce trees that were planted last year. One of the 3 have what appear to be purplish pine cones taking over from top to bottom. The second now has green pine cones starting at the top. Do I need to treat or is this normal. Tree still has some healthy needles at the top

Hi,
This is normal for your black spruce (pretty, aren't they?). Here is additional information: https://conifersociety.org/conifers/picea-mariana
