A group of 80-foot Colo. Blue Spruce at Adams and Warren were ordered destroyed recently. Ips beetles
infest, but the first sign of damage is the tree-top dropping, dying, and turning brown. Take good care of your trees and watch for the first signs of damage.
Call the City Forester, 303-964-2480, and your professional tree service when symptoms AppWare. If caught early, the tree may be saved. Also see
websites-- search under "Ips" or "Engraver beetles." -- Ellen Seymour
