<< Hi Kay,
I put in a rather large Dw Alberta Spruce last fall and it is doing the
same thing. It got a nice flush of new growth this spring and looked
real good until just recently. Then I noticed some small brown spots on
it, but just on one side. The other side is fine. I hope it recovers,
it really isn't too bad...yet. >>
The dwarf Alberta spruce may be infested with spider mites. Spider mite
infestation is the chief cause of browing foliage on this species in our
area. The sure is usually a systemic. Spider mites are hard to see and
difficult to combat.
