About Picea Ruby Tear Drops aka Teardrops (Colorado spruce Mountain Spruce conifer)

Picea pungens Ruby Tear Drops aka Teardrops - It is a striking dwarf, spreading, blue selection of Colorado spruce that provides a vibrant color display early in the growing season. Abundant emerging cones are red to magenta, contrasting vividly against teal-Blue foliage generally lasting for at least four weeks, longer in cooler weather. As cones age, they take on a khaki color and will eventually deteriorate rather than dislodge. The foliage will soften to more of a pleasing sky blue into summer. The overall growth structure is squat-irregular to globose. At maturity a specimen will be about 3 feet (1 m) tall and slightly wider, suggesting an annual growth rate of 2 to 4 inches (5 - 10 cm).  Family : Pinaceae
