Blue Spruce Tree

BLUE SPRUCE TREE Picea pungens Engelm

The Blue Spruce was first discovered in 1862 on Pikes Peak and named by the botanist C.C. Parry. It is the state tree of Colorado, USA. Hence, "Colorado Blue Spruce". This tree is known for its stately, majestic, symmetrical form and its beautiful silver-blue color. Field grown Blue Spruce can be transplanted successfully. They are widely used as an ornamental tree and for windbreak or a living privacy screen, or as a live potted Christmas tree! The foliage is generally a beautiful silvery blue color and they have the ability to withstand temperature extremes. Increased nitrogen in the spring can help bring out the blue color which may not appear until the trees are a bit older. They can grow to 90 feet high and live to be over 90 years. You may keep them from getting too high or large by regular pruning. They prefer full sun but do well in partial shade.
