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.
Colorado Spruce will reach 20 or 30 feet in about ten years, with a width of about 10 feet, making an elegant and striking feature in any garden. With no significant pests and hardy to minus 50, this is the perfect no-maintenance tree for the coldest parts of the country. It needs no clipping to keep perfect symmetry, remain compact and fully-branched right to the ground.
