Sleek Silvery Hues on a Timeless Evergreen

Why Colorado Blue Spruce Trees?

With silvery blue-green tones year-round, a sleek pyramidal silhouette, and straightforward, no-nonsense care, the Colorado Blue Spruce Tree ticks all the boxes of a landscape must-have. Its columnar shape and stiff, crisp needles set it apart from other evergreen varieties. Not to mention that its deer resistant and drought tolerant! 

And when it comes to planting and care, the Colorado couldn’t be easier to maintain. This well-known beauty withstands wind better than most spruces because it boasts a widespread, deeper root system. Plus, it’s long-lived (seriously…it can last hundreds of years!) and provides food and shelter for graceful wildlife, like siskins, crossbills, and nuthatches.

Even better? It adapts well to a variety of soils, from acidic to clay, and requires normal moisture with moderate tolerance to drought. Also, with a manageable growth rate of 12 to 24 inches per year, it’s easy to acclimate to your landscape with its uniform growth and symmetrical branching.

Basically, the Colorado Blue Spruce Tree is not just your typical evergreen – especially since its needles are 95% blue. Whether you’re looking for an all-natural privacy screen or windbreak, these Spruces are ideal for planting in a row and are the best selection for container growing. A festive twist in the form of light brown, 3 to 4-inch cones concentrated in the upper crown makes it a delightful backyard beauty during the holidays and beyond.

    Colorado Blue Spruces stunning good looks

    Beautiful and healthy stock, well packaged for shipping. I purchase the Colorado Blue Spruce in 2 x 4 packs over a 3 week period. They arrived on time, looked very healthy. I have repotted 2 as of yesterday in 10 gallon containers. Will repot the remaing 6 over the next week or so. They are gorgeous looking and we are very happy with the purchase so far. We will move them around to determine the ideal locations for each. I plan to go to 20 gal pots next. Probably be at least a season or 2 in the 10 gallons. Depends on the growth and rooting systems. I used a quality potting soil and 6-2-4 fertilizer liberally applied and mixed into the soil. Once these establish in the 10 gallon pots, I will continue updating this post. Very happy so far.

    Still looking good! Survived late season install and the TN cold weather. Looking forward to late spring to see the initial growth.

    Beautiful specimen

    This tree arrived well protected and I planted it straight away in September prepared to protect it from winter weather if necessary. This Fall was a warm one so this tree had 3 months to establish. It is late Fall and the tree is flourishing without any protection besides a windscreen.
