Is the Colorado Blue Spruce impacted by the beetle infestation ?
The Colorado Blue Spruce trees are not affected by the type of beetle that is currently infesting the forests of Colorado, known as the Mountain Pine Beetle. Blue Spruce Trees are a great replacement for Lodgepole Pines that have been killed due to the beetle infestation. Colorado continues to see a great number of trees dying because of the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic. Thankfully, the Blue Spruce is not affected by this pest.
