Is there any way to save an evergreen tree if two-thirds of the tree has no needles?
As a master gardener, I have asked myself this same question, as you may or may not know if you remove two thirds of a trees life that tree is going to die, the sad part is I have many everygreens that I have in the same condition, and have not put forth the effort in saving, it is on the top of my list to do. First thing you need to ask yourself does this tree pose any threat to any building or people, how tall is your tree it takes time to save a tree, if your tree is less than 20 feet tall, open the ground around the trunk, you want to open the ground as wide as the tree is wide,put some mulch around and below the ball of the tree, once you have done this the next step is to feed the tree, evergreen miracid mix a 5 gallon bucket and feed it every 2 weeks you can just spill it out or you can put a small valve in the bottom of the bucket and let it drain out. your tree should after about 2 months begin looking a little better that will be 4 feedings, If the tree is larger than 20 feet
