Faqs

Q: Is it better than the standard Colorado Blue Spruce?
A: For most home gardens, yes. It offers the same stunning color but in a much more manageable size that won't outgrow its space. The standard species can become a 50-75 foot giant.

Q: How do I maintain its color and shape?
A: Plant in full sun for the best blue color. Its shape is naturally very symmetrical, so it requires little to no pruning. If you must prune, do so in late winter/early spring before new growth starts, and only remove individual branches back to a lateral.
