HOOPSII SPRUCE  Picea pungens ‘Hoopsii’
• One of the most sought‑after blue spruce cultivars, famous for its intensely bright silver‑blue needles that hold their colour year‑round.
• Naturally forms a dense, broad‑pyramidal shape with strong branching and a sturdy central leader; no staking or shaping required.
• Needles are thick, stiff, and vividly coloured, giving the tree a bold, icy presence that stands out dramatically in any landscape.
• 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 premier specimen tree for front yards, open lawns, and conifer collections where its brilliant colour can be fully appreciated.
• Full Sun
• Zone 2, 8–12 m Height × 4–5 m Width
