I've seen a Colorado Blue Spruce I have been tempted to buy

In my readings (newbie here), I've always read Needlecast is a thing....and it's just a matter of when.

I do have a single CBS, Mrs. Cesarini....it was one of those gifts from CK from ordering over a certain threshold. Just passed by it in the grounds and said what a cute little thing.

So riddle me this fellow GW. Anyone planting CBS with the known variable that needlecast is a thing...and it's just a risk like all plants....out in the elements.
