Have a 35ft adult Spruce that is shedding it's outer secondary branches.
All are about the same length of 5-6 inches.(as seen in the 2nd pic)
This is the first year that the tree has ever done this. All other years I have to rake up the pine cones only.
There are small red squirrels in the tree daily, but I don't know if or why they might be doing this.
Any ideas of what's causing this? The first pic is from the last week and we had no windy days to speak of.
