Hello,
I just planted six 6-7' Picea P Bakeri blue spruces this past weekend. I noticed tonight that on one, three of the tips are starting to brown.
They came burlapped. Farm/nursery grown. I planted them as I always do. I planted 9 Norway spruce last weekend and they all look great. I've planted many trees over the years and have lost more to mower blades than bad planting
Any thoughts on what this could be? They were watered heavily upon planting and yesterday I gave them a few more gallons as its been in the mid 80s.
Planting height it fine, should be no air pockets, used terrasorb and a little bit of fertilizer. Good berm around and the root ball is not buried. I will mulch the spruces this week.
I included pictures and some of the tree itself. The rest of it appears fine.
I will also include a picture of one norway spruce that has a cluster of small red buds of some sort. Almost looks like a budworm or something based on my internet searching. Anyone know what this is?
Thanks!
