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.

The trees I received were in excellent shape.
Purfect
Beautiful Blue Spruce
I ordered 3 Colorado Blue Spruce Trees . They just arrived and look fabulous, they will be planted this weekend. Very excited to see them grow.
Very nice trees.
Both trees came together in one carefully packed box. They were both in perfect condition. I got them in the ground the following day. They're doing very well.
It's so small (1 ft)
It's so small (1 ft) that the color is still green not blue. But by April, it started shooting new growth and really looking nice now. I planted it in pot for now. I want it to grow in the pot to form a root ball and I'll transplant it on the ground this Fall. Happy with this purchase.
