We have an evergreen tree that has been losing needles from the inside out for the last couple of years. Hoping this is something that can be reversed. The evergreen next to it is also starting the same process. Are you able to help identify the cause and any treatment?

Hello Julie, happy to help.
With the loss of the older needles in the first photo, your blue spruce appears to have Rhizosphaera Needle Cast. Here is more information about the disease.
Good-luck!
