A Spruce with Gorgeous Color

Most spruce trees tower over everything — but the Baby Blue offers a more manageable growth habit while still delivering the classic shape and vibrant color of the beloved Colorado Blue Spruce. Reaching a mature height of around 25 feet, this cultivar is ideal for anyone who wants the beauty of a spruce without the overwhelming height of traditional varieties.

Gardeners appreciate the Baby Blue Spruce for its versatile form. Its balanced proportions make it an excellent choice for borders and walkways, and it shines equally well when planted in groups for a striking hedge or showcased as a standalone focal point.

The Baby Blue’s appeal goes beyond its structure — its signature silvery-blue hue sets it apart from other evergreens. With a naturally uniform pyramidal shape and dense branching, it maintains a full, elegant appearance without the need for pruning.

This spruce is as tough as it is attractive. Exceptionally hardy, it stands up to extreme cold, high winds, snow, and even salt exposure. Once established, it's drought-tolerant and unfazed by pests or deer. Adaptable and low-maintenance, it brings year-round beauty with minimal effort.

If you’ve been dreaming of adding a spruce to your landscape, the Baby Blue Spruce delivers stunning color, durability, and timeless form. Order yours now.

Hoping it grows better than it looks

Kind of scrawny and not very hearty looking. Already planted but not holding my breath to see if it thrives

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Patricia, we’re sorry to hear the tree didn’t meet your expectations on arrival. As a nursery, our plants are shipped at earlier growth stages and may appear smaller at first, but they are grown to establish and thrive over time. If you’d like any guidance or have concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Happy spruce

The baby blue spruce I purchased is happily establishing itself in my backyard. I was pleased with the condition when it arrived a couple of months ago, and seems to be making itself at home.

Baby Blue Spruce

This 5-gallon Baby Blue arrived in great condition. Due to weather and work, 7 days went by before it got planted. During that time, I kept it in the laundry room that has a lot of natural light and gave it a little drink about every 2-3 days. I followed planting instructions and added 2 packets of Evergreen Root Rocket. Once it was backfilled with dirt, I mixed Miracle Gro with 1 1/2 gallons of water. After watering, I surrounded the Baby Blue with 3-4 inches of organic mulch. The little tree seems to like its new home and is already thriving. It arrived with buds of new growth that have already opened. I'm getting ready to place my next order!

Watching them grow

Very happy. All 4 trees arrived in good condition and were very healthy. Only thing I would say is around here 1 Gallon and 2 Gallon containers are bigger. 😉

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi John! Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy your trees arrived healthy. We understand expectations around size, and just to note, nursery gallon sizing reflects the container and root system. With time, your trees should establish and grow nicely.
