Lijiang Spruce (Picea likiangensis) - Description

Picea likiangensis is a species of conifer in the Pinaceae family. It is found in Bhutan and China.

Lijiang Spruce (Picea likiangensis) - Pest

In winter, check for green aphids amongst the needles. Pine needle scale can also be a problem. In the Rocky Mountain states, spider mites and tussock moths can infest Spruces. Cooley Spruce gall adelgid is an insect similar to the aphid that feeds on the tips of branches of Spruces and causes a green gall to form. The galls gradually turn color to a light purplish tan.
