The Colorado Blue Spruce tree, Picea Pungens, is a pyramidal shaped evergreen with steel blue foliage.
It prefers heavier soils, full sun, and clean cultivation. Colorado Blue Spruce trees will reach a height of six feet in eight
years on a good site, starting with a 2 year old seedling. The Blue Spruce is probably the most drought tolerant of all spruce
trees.

as a dense, colorful screen or windbreak. Space 6 ft. apart when used as a screen or windbreak.
