No, lime fertilizer will not hurt Black Hills spruce trees (Picea glauca var. densata).

Specifically, Black Hills spruce trees are white spruce trees that are native to South Dakota. In their native habitat, they favor acidic soils. But they flourish in a range of soils, from the very acidic 4.0 to the alkaline 7.5. They nevertheless handle lime fertililzers, which help get a soil pH into the neutral to slightly acidic range that many plants prefer.
