Planting Methods and Care Tips for the Blue Spruce
Native to the United States, it gets its name from its bright silvery-blue foliage. An evergreen tree, up to 15 m tall, with a crown spread of up to 5 m, and a conical to columnar crown. The bark is scaly and gray-red. The branchlets are sturdy and brown-red. The leaves are 2 cm to 3 cm long, four-angled and linear, stiff and straight, bright silvery blue-green. The cones are green at first, later light brown, 7 cm to 12 cm long. The bright foliage is highly decorative, and when planted together with other tree species it can achieve a striking color effect. It prefers light and tolerates slight shade.
