Baby Blue Colorado Spruce features gorgeous silvery blue needle foliage that stays evergreen and beautiful all year. Dense foliage is arranged in distinguishable layers as branches stretch outward and upwards. With short-needled foliage, softly rounded branches, and flat foliage layers, the Baby Blue has plenty of landscape texture!

A strong central stalk drives this dwarf spruce upwards in a naturally pyramidal growth habit. No trimming is required to keep it looking its best, year after year.

This remarkably cold-hardy shrub laughs in the face of freezing temperatures. Specifically, it can withstand temperatures down to -40° F!

The Baby Blue Colorado Spruce has few disease or pest problems and is quite hardy once established in the landscape.

This blue spruce has a moderate growth rate and grows around 9-12" a year.

This tree reaches a mature size of 15-20' H x 6-10' W.

Living Christmas Tree Care

Hardy from USDA Zones 3-8.

Grows best in Full Sun. Plenty of sunlight ensures that it has dense, attractive foliage.

Water regularly for the first growing season, 2-3 times a week. Afterward, it 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.

This Spruce tree can tolerate a range of soil qualities; however, they need good soil drainage to thrive. If your soil drains poorly, plant this variety a few inches higher than the ground around it, and mound the soil. Consequently, this will help water to drain more quickly from the roots.

Fertilize with an acidic plant fertilizer in early spring and then again in early summer to encourage faster growth.
