|  sick blue spruce
this was a healthy spruce till we moved it last fall, lost alot of lower branches, the new growth this spring were very small and lots of buds didnt open, plus its growing like a weeping spruce with the leader drooping, is this tree worth saving? will it recover and grow larger blue needles next year? and should i stake the drooping leader? here is some pics of it  Last edited by Jeff Darby; 26th July 2009 at 03:18 PM.

| Re: sick blue spruce
You should see increased leaf growth once the roots grow back, this could take another growing season or two. Because the tree was weakened when the tree was moved, its possible white pine weevils have attacked the leader.
