Answered for Bargersville, Johnson County.
Effectively endemic on Indiana blue spruce. It is the single most common reason a blue spruce gets removed here. In Bargersville, no street tree inventory exists for Bargersville and it is not among the 23 communities in the Indiana DNR street tree sample, so the picture is an expectation from the build-out pattern: most of the canopy should be nursery stock roughly five to twenty-five years old, not yet over the roofline, with mature shade trees concentrated in Old Bargersville, Three Notch Village and the few pre-war properties. The UDC's Approved Plant List steers new planting toward natives and flags which species may go under utility lines, though the list's contents are unverified. Rhizosphaera needlecast is near-universal on mature blue spruce here.

Needles browning and dropping from the bottom of the tree upward and from the inside out, leaving bare lower limbs.
Rhizosphaera needlecast is near-universal on mature blue spruce here. Fungicide can hold the line on a tree that still has most of its canopy; a spruce that's bare halfway up is not coming back, because spruce doesn't refoliate old wood.
Two fungicide applications in spring, repeated for two to three consecutive years. Miss a year and it resets.
