Maybe they are the crysalis stage of a particular destructive worm that eats away at blue spruce needles. The two trees across the street have them, and I spotted a couple over here last summer, but so far they seem to be satisfied with the trees across the street. I told one of the people who live there, after I'd asked the county extension service about them, that they needed to call an arborist to get rid of them, but clearly they have not done so.

Trees of many kinds can get such yucky things wrong with them. Through the years I've lost so many that I really loved to stuff like bagworms and elm disease, and pine junk. I love my trees and hate to see them go.

I don't remember ever seeing chrysalis pods on cedar or spruce
trees when I lived where they were growing, but if they don't produce butterflies then I agree with you they are gross and need to be picked off. We need the green trees making oxygen for all God's creatures that breathe. I could just see the two of you out there, playing around while doing serious work...

Good afternoon
Mother Nature is a strange one to figure out. Everything has a purpose and a reason. I have a flower that has similar "things" inside of its petals. I'm sure that they are there to feed one thing or another.
