A new rare and semi-dwarf selection of Colorado spruce, Picea pungens Baby Blue, as shown in this picture, that retains its color well. The foliage incredible for the intense blue of its needles, which it keeps all year round. The port is conical and pyramidal and very symmetrical. Very straight trunk. Reddish-brown buds in spring turning to silvery white in September-October. Very slow growth. Its compact and pyramidal habit (8 feet - 2.5 meters wide by 16 feet - 5 meters high) and its slow growth make it possible to grow it in small gardens, even in pots. It tolerates temperatures of -30 to -35 ° C. This tree will be safe from deer because they don't like it.
