How Are My Spruce Trees Doing? 2026 Field Walk

In this video, I take a walk through our spruce fields and provide an update on how the trees are progressing. We'll look at Colorado Blue Spruce, Black Hills Spruce, and Serbian Spruce that were planted in 2018, 2019, and 2020. I'll discuss how each variety is performing, what challenges we've encountered, and what I'm seeing as the trees continue to mature. Topics covered include: • Overall tree growth and development • Differences between the spruce varieties • White pine weevil damage and how it impacts tree quality • Tree form and leader development • What I'm watching for as these trees continue toward harvest Not every tree is perfect, and these field walks provide a real-world look at both the successes and challenges of growing Christmas trees. If you're growing spruce trees or considering adding them to your farm, hopefully this update provides some useful insights. Let me know in the comments which spruce variety performs best in your area. Thanks for watching and supporting the via this Buy Me A Coffee link: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TonyStefani
