I've got me a tree problem. Advice on treatment sought.

**Over the past couple of summers I've noticed an issue with some of my coniferous (Blue Spruce) trees around the property. Any ideas?**

Well these guys just are not looking so good anymore. I'm hoping that I can do something to salvage them and help them fight the obvious disease. Seems like they have their own COVID fight happening.

I planted them about 20 years ago and they had been doing relatively well. This guy(above) seems to have been patient zero. I trimmed the branches that had fallen but it seems to have progressed.

It looks like it has been passed on to his neighbors, down wind. I'm hoping somebody has been successful in saving their trees from this and can offer some advice. I'd prefer a home based remedy but whatever works.

I've read a bit around "the Google" but the prognosis does not seem very favorable. I'm pretty sure it's Rhizosphaera needle cast so trim and fungicide. I can't seem to figure out what fungicide though? Is there only one? Seeing a lot of Cooper Spray Fungicide. 

If you happen to have run into this tree epidemic please let me know how you helped save your trees. Or were you not able to save them?
