I have a troubled Blue spruce, believed to be planted when the home was built 27 yrs ago. It is loosing needles. No visual pest on the needles. Central Oregon is very dry. Could it be suffering from not enough irrigation? Should it be fertilized? We have lived here just a year. The Spruce I recall look dry when we purchased the property. I have never had a Blue Spruce and do not know what the appearance of a 27 yr old tree should be. This tree is 50+ feet tall and prominently displayed in our back yard, I want to save it desparately.
Thank you for any help
