browning of braches
Our Blue Spruce tree has several entire branches turning brown. This has never happened before during the fall. Is this from lack of water?

Maple sprouts
Hello, I have fronds/long stringy sprouts coming out of branches on two of my Japanese maples....should I cut these? And if so, how far down on the branch? One tree has been well-pruned so it is surprising; the other tree is bushier and needs considerable thinning in any case. Also, might there be a reason why these are appearing? Many thanks, Britta Gordon

Small insects found in bathroom
I had sent in a question last week regarding some very small insects I’ve been finding in a bathroom. There haven’t been very many and they are usually on the floor near the baseboard. I found one on a counter. I didn’t have a photo to send in then but now I do and will attach it. The insects are about 1/8” long, and the penny in the photo may help with scale. Thank you.

Soil testing
Hi friends, Im interested in finding a local, reputable place to get my garden soil tested. I moved in last year and planted a few things in the raised beds, but they did only medicore. I'd like to find a place that tests for nutrients, ph, lead and heavy metals and other toxins (I live in an older house). Thanks as always! -Laneia

Tri-colored beech tree
I have a 40 foot tri-colored beec that has gotten aphids in the past I have been getting ground injections for three years and it has taken care of the problem. The company I had did not come this year but luckily I didn't have any aphids. I had two other people come out and say I don't need to do anything. Its too big to be sprayed. It's a beautiful tree I would hate to lose it. Spraying after I had aphids the first four times did not work. The early spring injections in the ground did however. Thank you

Tree - Spruce - Browning
Rumor has it that the three spruce trees we have were planted after the civil war. They are huge. We have not noticed this pattern in past years however, there is browning on the needles throughout the entire trees.
In the immediate area these events happened this year: Our pine tree went completely brown and we are assuming it is dead and there was juniper tree we found with cedar apple rust in the spring.
Do the spruce trees have a problem? What is it? Can they be saved?
