For many years I have grown houseplants, having 53 at one time in my home. I also gave houseplant advice on a well-known website. Now that I no longer live in the city and have four acres of beautiful trees, I find myself a "babe in the woods" when it comes to tree problems.
I have 10 beautiful blue spruce trees placed in different areas around my home. I love these trees as not only are they beautiful but they also cut down on the southwesterly winds. My problem is that they appear to be getting a blight of some sort. At first, I thought it might be root rot, as the brown patches seem to be coming from the inside of the plant out (underwatering is usually the opposite), but the patches are sporadic. This tells me it's a blight. Is anyone familiar with this same problem, and if so, how can I go about saving the trees?
My brother-in-law owns a Christmas tree farm and he is having the same problem.
