Description: A slow growing, densely branched, globe shaped dwarf spruce with striking silvery-blue needles. Small and extremely versatile, this flat-topped, shrub-like tree fits in tight spaces. An excellent choice for smaller landscapes where a feature spruce tree would overwhelm the space.
Ornamental Features: Needles emerge a gorgeous silvery blue in spring and remain blue throughout the year, providing a stunning contrast against the snow in winter and deciduous green foliage in summer.
Landscape Attributes: A low maintenance choice; simply prune out upright shoots to maintain the globe or create unique shapes. Wildlife resistant and drought tolerant once established.
