Cool Blue Spruce for Hot Summer Days

Baby Blue Eyes Spruce





This beautiful grafted blue spruce gets 10-15' high and 8-10' wide and grows very slowly 2-3" a year. It is a great spruce to use at the corner of the house because of its dwarf features. Baby Blue Eyes has handsome penulous cones, very deer resistant and drought tolerant once established.










Bacheri Blue Spruce







Bacheri Blue Spruce can be used in larger landcapes with maturing height of 40' and width of 20'. It is also a grafted spruce maintaining the beautiful silvery blue needles not fading to green as it matures.









Blue Totem Spruce




This grafted spruce grows 15' high and 3' wide in full sun to part shade and stays very narrow. Blue Totem is very blue and with its stiffly ascending branching makes it a gorgeous vertical accent in the landscape.
