Plant Details:
Plant Type: Evergreen Tree
Plant Family: Pinaceae
Plant Description: A dense, pyramid-shaped cultivar of Colorado spruce that retains the blue coloring and stiff needles of the species.

Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Tree - Evergreen
Plant Care: Tree - Evergreen (single-stemmed woody plants that keep their leaves during winter): Light pruning is required to maintain desired shape and to avoid branching problems such as double-leader stems. Evergreen trees can be difficult to establish. Adequate winter moisture is critical for the first 2-3 years until the roots establish. If there is a dry winter check the root ball with your finger for moisture before watering. Monitor for pests and diseases.
