Hey anderson, fwiw, I have a large number of Norway spruce growing on my land in the "Near North" of Wisconsin, that is, the transition zone between farm land and the true vacation wonderland. This spring was brutal on many of them. First, much too warm weather in March and April, then a hard freeze in mid-May. Many new shoots were killed.
So what am I doing about this? Nothing. What can be done really. And as I'm sure Mr. Spruce would corroborate, nearly all of these trees have pushed out new growth from secondary buds anyway. I have also had a significant number of my trees topped by deer browsing. This in a field of alfalfa! You wouldn't think the deer would have to mess with my trees, but then, what don't they mess with!?!
Also damaged by that late hard freeze-I believe temps were in the LOW twenties!'were hybrid larch, also completely killed off in terms of their early new growth. These too have made a good comeback. Every time I am there, I check out how all these trees are doing in terms of establishing a new leader. It is coming along. I don't believe there is anything I can or should do to hasten this process.
