spruce tree problem

[Evan629]

i have 4 spruce trees, two of them are nice and full but the other two have lost needles over the years leaving them bearer than before, there seems to me that it could have been caused by road salt because the other spruces are farther away and there fine, any of you have any thoughts or solutions

Is the needle loss on the north side, mainly?

 

[Evan629]

no its fairly even

Do the 2, that are loosing needles, get the same amount of water as the other two? Mulch/no mulch? Salt doesnt help. The best is when salt is heavy on a dry road that gets powdered by cars and than blown into landscapes.

Any pics possible?

i will get pics, they are full grown trees and the only water they get is the rain, the road is only 6-7 feet form the trunk
