Question for anyone with knowledge about Spruces.
I just got a Colorado Blue Spruce that someone gave me about 3 months ago. It is quite healthy, it is in a plastic rectangular pot only because I didn't think it needed to be repotted. I am waiting till it's the right time to repot or when I get sick of the pot that it's in. Been fertilizing regularly, and it is constantly throwing out healthy new shoots.
The problem is, every time I pinch it back the new growth to keep it manicured and in its original size and shape, it goes through about three weeks with all those places that I pinched back turning brown.
What's the deal?>
Should I keep it out of the sun after I pinch it back?
Mahalo,
