If you didn't provide extra and regular water through the horrible drought this area has had since July, it may very well have gone under. Many evergreens didn't make it with the rainfall deficit of over 15" for this past year. Being conifers, they didn't show much stress until too late, then turned brown. If your blue spruce has gotten browner looking overall since winter set in, I wouldn't bet on it surviving.

Resin: Actually, Blue Spruces do remarkably well here in the Midwest. Farther south, perhaps not as well, but north of the Ohio River, they thrive. We don't have much success with most firs, except for A. concolor here in the Ohio River Valley, but even they do fine farther north.
