BUSH’S LACE ENGELMANN SPRUCE  Picea engelmannii ‘Bush’s Lace’
• A striking selection known for its semi‑weeping, lace‑like branching, giving the tree a refined, draping silhouette reminiscent of alpine forests.
• Needles are soft blue‑green, often brighter and more silvery than Colorado spruce, creating a cool, elegant presence in the landscape.
• Branches extend outward before gently drooping, forming a layered, sculptural habit while maintaining a strong central leader and narrow, upright form.
• Extremely cold‑hardy and adapted to high‑elevation climates, making it well suited to prairie winters, wind, and exposed sites.
• Deer‑resistant and generally less prone to spider mites than Colorado spruce.
• Prefers full sun and well‑drained soils; appreciates consistent moisture while young but becomes drought‑tolerant with age.
• An excellent specimen tree for conifer collections, rock gardens, and landscapes needing a tall, graceful vertical accent.
• Full Sun
• Zone 3, 20–25 m Height × 5–6 m Width
