BAKERI BLUE SPRUCE  Picea pungens ‘Bakeri’
• A compact, slower‑growing selection valued for its intense steel‑blue needles and naturally tidy, pyramidal form.
• Needles are short, stiff, and vividly coloured, giving the tree a bold, icy‑blue presence year‑round; colour holds well even in harsh prairie sun.
• More compact than the species, making it ideal for smaller yards or as a focal point where a full‑size blue spruce would be overwhelming.
• Extremely hardy and wind‑tolerant, thriving in exposed prairie sites; performs best in well‑drained soils and full sun.
• Highly resistant to deer browsing and generally low‑maintenance, though it benefits from avoiding overly wet or poorly drained locations.
• Excellent as a specimen tree, anchor planting, or evergreen accent in mixed borders and foundation landscapes.
• Full Sun
• Zone 2, 6–10 m Height × 3–4 m Width
