2.5 Qt Baby Blue Colorado Spruce - Live Small Evergreen Tree/Shrub

Baby Blue Spruce is a hardy evergreen tree with striking silvery blue needle foliage. It's showy foliage and low-maintenance habit make it ideal for a specimen planting in your landscape. Baby Blue Colorado Spruce is a dwarf version of the traditional Colorado Blue and reaches a mature height of 15 ft. x 10 ft. The foliage is the real star of the show with this tree. It has flat, needled foliage on softly rounded branches. When paired with other forest green evergreens, the blue color of the foliage really stands out. A strong central stalk drives this dwarf spruce upwards in a naturally pyramidal growth habit. The dwarf evergreen tree is hardy in USDA Zones 2-8, which means it can be grown in most of the country. Grows best in Partial to Full Sun. Plenty of sunlight ensures that it has dense, attractive foliage. Try the Baby Blue Colorado Spruce as a specimen, accent, holiday decoration, container plant, or screen. For the holidays, you'll have a living Christmas tree in your yard. Water regularly for the first growing season, 2-times to 3-times a week. Afterwards, the Baby Blue Colorado Spruce will not require as much supplementary water. Once a week is enough in average weather conditions during the second growing season. After a few years, the Baby Blue is particularly water-wise and somewhat drought tolerant.
