Colorado Blue Spruce

Colorado Spruce, also known as Blue Spruce, is a tough, very cold-hardy evergreen tree with brilliant silver-blue needles that is attractive all year round. It forms a striking tree with a perfect pyramidal shape that grows easily into any garden, even in exposed locations. It is resistant to air pollution, deer, rabbits and other problems, so it will grow well in the city or in the countryside too. For that perfect specimen in your yard, or to fill a corner near the house, this tree is ideal. It can also be used to make a privacy screen, and since it grows a foot a year it will soon block in that ugly view and give you garden a pleasant and private atmosphere. Even if you never garden, Colorado Spruce is so trouble-free it will grow anywhere.
