Picea pungens 'Thomsen' Common Names: Colorado Blue Spruce

Description:

Colorado Spruce is a stiffly pyramidal evergreen conifer. Horizontal branches reach to the ground, but form may become more open with age. Foliage occurs in a wide range of colors from green to silver-blue. Blue foliage types are often sold as Colorado Blue Spruce. The blue foliage makes a strong accent in the landscape and should be used with restraint. Prefers a moist, well drained soil but will tolerate drier soil. Adaptable to a wide range of conditions. Full sun, especially for blue foliage types which will lose "blueness" in shade.
