3 years ago we planted several blue spruce trees purchased from Costco. Needles are turning brown. It appears to be starting from the base & working its way up the trees. Google search suggest it’s a fungus. Do you have any suggestions on treatment?

Expert Response
Most likely a fungus. Blue Spruce are a little out of their range in Alaska and are susceptible to a lot of fungal diseases as a result.
