Dwarf Alberta spruce
Hi I had planted 4 dwarf Alberta spruce about 3 years ago just noticed the top of one is completely dead can I cut the top off and still save it or is something else wrong and infect the other. Will try to send photos. Thanks

Yes, snip off the top of the plant that is dead and the new side growth will cover up the bald spot. Most likely the top was damaged by a late frost and the tender new growth on top was most affected. It will be fine. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
