If you're somewhere on the east coast, move the tree and yourself to Colorado: a location about 6000 ft should suffice but they really prefer to be higher. Otherwise, sue your landscaper for planting it? Sorry to be facetious, but look around where you live. If you don't see a lot of healthy looking mature blue spruces, there's no reason yours is going to be an exception. This kind of dieback is absolutely typical. At the very least it looks like it might be planted too low.

David, unfortunately my recent checks about a month ago weren't helpful in identifying this fungal pathogen, so it continues to devastate trees and shrubs. Not just blue spruce trees are affected, but so are maple trees and oaks, and people around here are having many of them cut down. Just last month my two neighbors had 5 of these large trees cut down. Mountain ash trees are dying too. And I'd say that 50% of the white pines in this area (southern New Hampshire) are either dead or in decline from this disease. I don't spray mine since I consider them somewhat of a weed, and mine are slowly and continuously losing needles. I expect them to die within a few years. The good news is that this year I've kept up spraying with Mancozeb every two weeks since May 1st. Every tree and shrub I've sprayed (where my spray can reach the foliage) is very healthy. I'm now also working on my grown son's 4 dying spruce trees to see if I can restart growth on the now bare trunk and on other branches. But don't try a "ground drench" with Propiconazole - I tried that last year and it killed off beneficial ground bacteria, harming the trees & shrubs. Fortunately, they're recovering this year with fertilizer and spraying. Norway spruce and linden trees seem to resist this disease best.

Yes, all the blue spruce trees around the country are dying. It's not the weather, it's not global warming, and it's not fertilizer. It's a fungus that grows under the bark and is killing the trees. It's relatively new (about 10 years old), but plant pathologists aren't aware of it yet. I've been studying it for 10 years now. Incidentally, it also affects other trees and shrubs! For lack of a name, I refer to it as "white canker" since it generates white internal fungal growth that chokes off the trees vascular system. I have a website devoted to information on this disease.

z5 is half the US... could you be a bit more specific.... big city name ... zone is simply min winter temp ... and it ranges from ground freeze to no grd freeze.. etc ... the easy way.. is to drive around town.. and just look at the big blue spruces.. do they all look bad ... and if they do.. you would be better off finding some other trees ... its hard to miss a 40 foot blue tree .. lol ... in general.. among other things .... they suffer from a needle cast disease ... and the result looks exactly like what your do ... https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pice+pungens+needle+cast+disease&t=ffcm&iax=images&ia=images if you have a warranty.. meaning they were planted this year ....i would be talking with the seller ... imo.. they may have come with it.. but i doubt we could ever prove it ... if they have been there a few years.... it wasnt the sellers problem ... the bottom two look crooked .... if you replant.. maybe we can help you .... ken
