What can you tell me about pruning my Globe Blue Spruce?

Answer by  BrendaG (6111)

Spruce trees are usually not pruned, although some people like to shape up the lower branches. When young, spruces can be pruned in order to slow down their growth. The growing tip is called a candle and each year you can prune half the candle. Pruning dwarf globe blue spruces on a regular basis produces lots of blue needles.

This is a fairly loaded question, as with all trees, plants and botanical items in general, there are many different species which should be considered. With any plant "ailment" there are many symptoms which can be considered. You should research your plant types, this could be one thing or another.

Pruning can be done at any time of the year. It can be done by hand and only cutting back the errant new sprouts.
