Last year we planted 500 norway spruce, our soil is heavy with lots of clay. I have 150-200 of the trees planted in the open in a field. Many of the trees have turned a pale green color and a number of them are losing there lower branches. The soil where they are planted is exceptionaly heavy with clay. They are 18"-2' tall. Others that I have planted in more shaded areas, and where the soil apears darker, and with more humus have a more normal color and seem healthier. The majority of the trees where they are doing well are planted in a oak woods, they are 8"-14" tall.
What do you think?
Do I have a problem?
If so what steps should I take?
Any help would be apreciated.
thanks
