Sleek Silvery Hues on a Timeless Evergreen
Why Colorado Blue Spruce Trees?
With silvery blue-green tones year-round, a sleek pyramidal silhouette, and straightforward, no-nonsense care, the Colorado Blue Spruce Tree ticks all the boxes of a landscape must-have. Its columnar shape and stiff, crisp needles set it apart from other evergreen varieties. Not to mention that its deer resistant and drought tolerant!
And when it comes to planting and care, the Colorado couldn’t be easier to maintain. This well-known beauty withstands wind better than most spruces because it boasts a widespread, deeper root system. Plus, it’s long-lived (seriously…it can last hundreds of years!) and provides food and shelter for graceful wildlife, like siskins, crossbills, and nuthatches.
Even better? It adapts well to a variety of soils, from acidic to clay, and requires normal moisture with moderate tolerance to drought. Also, with a manageable growth rate of 12 to 24 inches per year, it’s easy to acclimate to your landscape with its uniform growth and symmetrical branching.
Basically, the Colorado Blue Spruce Tree is not just your typical evergreen – especially since its needles are 95% blue. Whether you’re looking for an all-natural privacy screen or windbreak, these Spruces are ideal for planting in a row and are the best selection for container growing. A festive twist in the form of light brown, 3 to 4-inch cones concentrated in the upper crown makes it a delightful backyard beauty during the holidays and beyond.

So far, so good
They came very professionally packaged. They were in great shape. I put them in the ground, almost 2 weeks ago. So far they seem to be doing real well. But the weather has been pretty much perfect for their early stage adjustment to this climate and soil conditions. I used some Dr. Jimz tree fertilizer on them, a few days after they had been in the ground. So far all the tree's I have received from your company, seem to be adapting to the area, quite well. I am looking forward to seeing all the tree's I have purchased, next spring when they have had a full year to establish themselves. I am quite certain that I will be purchasing some ornamental tree's from you, either later this Spring/Summer. Or next year at the latest. I am extremely satisfied with my purchases, up to this point! Sincerely, Jim Squire
