Norwegian weeping spruce - needle drop / death? #784306
Asked March 17, 2022, 5:41 PM EDT
In the spring of 2020, we had a local Tree Farm plant our Norwegian weeping spruce. It seemed to thrive and over-wintered well 2020 to 2021. In 2021, we used root stimulator and evergreen spikes, and the needle and pinecone growth was good. I watered well with a hose in Nov and Dec, but in the early part of this year, we noticed a lot of needle drop which only accelerated. Any idea what is causing this? Is there a way to save this tree?
