COLUMNAR BLUE SPRUCE  Picea pungens ‘Fastigiata’
• A narrow, upright form of Colorado Blue Spruce selected for its tight, fastigiate habit and strong vertical presence.
• Needles are stiff, short, and intensely blue‑silver, giving the tree a bold, icy appearance year‑round; colour remains vibrant even in full prairie sun.
• Naturally maintains a strong central leader with dense, upward‑angled branches that stay close to the trunk, creating a tall, column‑like silhouette.
• Extremely hardy and wind‑tolerant, thriving in exposed prairie sites; performs best in full sun and well‑drained soils.
• Highly resistant to deer browsing and generally low‑maintenance, requiring no pruning to maintain its shape.
• Excellent as a vertical accent, formal element, or architectural specimen in modern landscapes, entryways, and narrow planting beds where width is limited.
• Full Sun
• Zone 2, 8–12 m Height × 2–3 m Width
