Christmas Blue Spruce

The Christmas Blue Spruce is a special dwarf selection of the blue spruce, with outstanding silver-blue foliage. It is the perfect Christmas tree to grow in your garden, or in a tub, since it stays small and compact for many years. It has outstanding color, rich fragrance, perfect form, and its dramatic coloring really stands out in any landscape. Yet this sturdy plant thrives in poor conditions and very cold, windy locations. It is a top-pick for beauty in tough places and it looks perfect all year round. Reaching just 4 feet tall in 10 years, its neat pyramidal structure needs no trimming to always look perfect. In time it should reach about 12 feet tall. Grow it on a small lawn, among rocks and gravel with other evergreens, around your home, or even in a planter. This wonderful tree is among the brightest and most colorful of all the forms of blue spruce that are available.

• Brilliant silver-blue foliage all year round
• Neat pyramidal form needs no trimming to look perfect
• The perfect Christmas Tree for your garden
• Very cold resistant, but thrives in hotter zones as well
• Grows well even in poor soil

Plant the Christmas Blue Spruce in full sun for the best color and dense structure. It will grow well in any well-drained soil, including heavy soils, rocky soils, and sand. It grows almost anywhere, from zone 3 to zone 8, and resists cold and strong winds. If growing in a tub, make sure it has drainage holes and use a blended potting soil for outdoor trees, not garden soil. Once established it is drought resistant, and almost never bothered by insects or diseases. Deer normally leave it alone. No trimming is required, but if you wish it can be trimmed for even greater neatness.
