Description: This tree is a selection of Colorado spruce with intensely silvery blue needles. Its smaller stature, but strong pyramidal shape and beautiful foliage color make this evergreen a new landscape favorite!  They tolerate a wide range of well-drained soils, but not standing water.

Ornamental Features: Stunning blue foliage emerges silvery blue in spring, and provides a beautiful contrast against the snow in winter. The rough gray bark adds an interesting texture to the landscape.

Landscape Attributes: A dense evergreen tree with a strong central leader and refined pyramidal form. A superb choice for unique color and form that won’t overwhelm the space with its size.
