MONTGOMERY SPRUCE  Picea pungens ‘Montgomery’
• A compact, slow‑growing blue spruce cultivar prized for its dense, rounded to broad‑pyramidal form, making it ideal for smaller landscapes.
• Needles are thick, stiff, and brilliant silver‑blue, offering exceptional year‑round colour that rivals larger blue spruce cultivars.
• Naturally maintains a tidy, symmetrical shape with minimal pruning; often begins as a globe form and gradually develops a low, broad leader with age.
• 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.
• Excellent as a foundation specimen, front‑yard focal point, or compact accent in mixed conifer plantings and rock gardens.
• Full Sun
• Zone 2, 1.5–2 m Height × 1.5–2 m Width
