buds turning brown

whatswrong · 27th June 2011, 12:19 PM

We have some blue spruces and white spruces all in a line along our lot line. They are about 12 feet tall and we had them transplanted from a Nursery 2 years ago. They have been doing fine, budding and getting pine cones. This year the white spruces all got nice new buds, but not are turning brown. One of the trees it seems to be spreading down the branch to the trunk. This tree is worse than the other two, but now the other 2 white spruces are doing it. It has pine cones as well. Nothing appears wrong with the blue spruces. Never seen this before, and wondering what could be wrong?

Thanks!

Can you post pics of the buds, needles, branches and the trunk and any gum or oozings on the branches?

No gum that I can see. The trunks look good.

If there is no oozing gun, that is good. Still need the pics.
