Needle Cast is a fungal that thrives from drought conditions and stressed conifer trees. It generally targets spruce, but it can also spread to other types of evergreens. Stressed trees will continue to have problems throughout the years, so ensure that you fertilize your trees. Fertilize with 30-10-10 or a top-dress fertilizer if on an acreage.
