These are no slouch when it comes to growth rate either, featuring a medium rate of growth once established.

Planting and Application:

Baby Blue® Spruce grows slightly more narrow than others of the species, and can be a bit variable in size based upon the growing conditions. These lovely specimen trees add year-round interest, and soothing blue hues and look as fantastic in the summer surrounded by green foliage and summer flowers as they do when dusted with snow! They dampen sound and wind and are dense enough to keep prying eyes at bay.

Add a Spruce focal point or accent tree in your front yard landscaping for a formal pyramidal outline and clean lines. Great in lines and zig-zags for privacy, or in groupings that create wildlife habitat and screening! An interesting colored evergreen to include in your windbreaks or shelterbelts because of its extreme hardiness and durability.
