It's the wax on the spruce's needles that create its color, this color may vary seasonally if the wax is worn away from weather elements like snow, hot sun or other exposure.

Popular for Dense, Pyramidal Growth
Why Black Hills Spruce Trees?
A superior spruce tree that's popular for its dense, pyramidal shape, the Black Hills Spruce Tree is a favorite for its thick, uniform shape and amazing ornamental growth. A cousin of the White Spruce, the Black Hills shines with its ability to thrive despite poor soil and bad weather.
In fact, the Black Hills Spruce is the most tolerant of the worst conditions. Of course, every spruce can stand up to a rough winter, but this tree can survive unusually hot summers far better than other varieties. Tolerant of drought and rain exceeding 10 inches per year, the Black Hills Spruce can also grow in dry or wet soils.
And it can last a lifetime. Sometimes living more than 80 years and growing to heights of 60 feet, this majestic tree will stand out in your landscape. The dense, blue-green to dark green needles and full, thick branches of the Black Hills will bring distinction to your yard.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your Black Hills Spruce in a spot in your yard that gets at least 4 hours of sun each day, and choose an area with well-drained soil.
To plant, spread 2 inches of organic fertilizer on the ground in an area that is two times as large as the root ball. Till the fertilizer into the ground. Be sure to go slightly deeper than the longest root and continue twice as wide as the canopy. Place the tree in the loose soil and press the soil down until the tree's roots are completely covered.
2. Watering: Water the ground immediately after you plant your tree, but don't oversaturate. Your tree will only need around 20 inches of water each year, so you may not need to ever water your tree unless there is a severe drought.
3. Fertilizing: If you notice stalled growth, add one inch of organic fertilizer under the entire tree canopy each spring to encourage faster growth. If you do, you'll need to water the ground after you apply the fertilizer to ensure it reaches the roots.
4. Pruning: If you do see infested or diseased branches, you can prune them down to the trunk in the fall.

You guys do a great job ! At 71 years of age who would have thought you could mail a tree that’s ready to plant out of the box. The tree came to the house early afternoon and was in the ground an hour later. This is a great tree that will adapt in a variety of environments. Very innovative guys!!
United StatesFive stars review
Excellent. Delivery time was in the time range the trees were to arrive. The trees were in wonderful condition after taking them out of the boxes. They were packed well. Per instructions we planted them a few days after arrival. They look beautiful on our property and seem to be doing well. We will see how they do over the winter and hope they grow well with no problems.
