Colorado Blue Spruce

The Classic Blue Evergreen

The Colorado Blue Spruce is easily the most recognizable evergreen in the American landscape. Famous for its stiff, prickly needles and distinct silvery-blue color, it forms a perfect, formal pyramid. It stands out strikingly against green lawns and gray winter skies, making it a popular specimen tree.

Why You Need It:

• Year-Round Color: The icy blue foliage is stunning in every season.
• Privacy & Windbreak: Dense branches make it an excellent screen or wind block.
• Deer Resistant: The sharp needles make it very unappealing to deer.

Planting Tips:

Requires Full Sun and good air circulation. It prefers rich, moist soil but is fairly drought-tolerant once established. Avoid planting in deep shade, or it will lose its needles.
