The Baby Blue Spruce (Picea pungens 'Baby Blue') is a popular, semi-dwarf evergreen known for its intense, silvery-blue needles and classic symmetrical pyramidal shape, making it ideal for smaller landscapes, specimen planting, or as a live Christmas tree. It offers the beauty of a full Colorado Blue Spruce but in a more compact form, typically reaching 15-25 feet tall. This hardy tree thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and is drought-tolerant once established, resisting pests, deer, and cold, making it a low-maintenance, striking addition to gardens.
