COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE  Picea pungens ‘Blue’
• A classic spruce valued for its strong pyramidal form and dependable hardiness across the prairie provinces.
• Needles are stiff, sharp, and blue‑green to silver‑blue, with colour intensity varying slightly by site and season; maintains excellent year‑round presence.
• Dense branching creates a full, symmetrical silhouette that requires no pruning to maintain shape.
• Extremely hardy and wind‑tolerant, thriving in exposed prairie sites; prefers full sun and well‑drained soils.
• Highly resistant to deer browsing and generally low‑maintenance, though it performs best when kept out of overly wet or compacted soils.
• A reliable evergreen for shelterbelts, windbreaks, screening, or as a bold specimen tree in open landscapes.
• Full Sun
• Zone 2, 12–18 m Height × 4–6 m Width
