Q&A – Why are my Norway Spruce dropping their tips?
Question:
Why are my Norway Spruce dropping their tips?
Answer:
This is likely caused by an insect. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says many of the insects that affect spruce trees are microscopic. They can cause swelling of the affected area which is what appears to be happening here. She recommends taking a sample to your local Cooperative Extension office and getting a positive ID on the insect. Once you know what it is, you can treat correctly.
