Blue Wonder Spruce Tree Picea Pungens Glauca

Product Description

A Worry-Free Evergreen that Gives Color & Style to Your Landscape

This evergreen beauty has rightfully earned its place as the state tree of Colorado for its show of blue-green foliage and its hardiness. Commonly used for privacy, windbreaks, or noise barriers, these trees shine in any landscape. And with a moderate growth rate, you don’t have to wait long to enjoy their beauty!

Additional Features
Unique foliage color is easily the Blue Wonder Spruce’s biggest appeal. But this tree’s merits don’t stop there!

• Takes on harsh climates with ease. Sure, there are other evergreens out there, but they don’t stand a chance when this one’s around! Salt spray, freezing temperatures and high elevations are no issue for the Blue Wonder. Feel confident that this tree can take what mother nature throws at it and still look great.

• No pruning needed. It grows naturally into a dense, conical shape, so you won’t have to prune it to keep it looking shapely!

• Deer resistance. For all its visual appeal, the Blue Wonder Spruce is not a favorite of deer, which helps it maintain a beautiful appearance.

Design Versatility
The Blue Wonder Spruce is truly a landscape designer’s dream because of its versatility! It lends an elegant touch to a formal garden and can be paired with other plants or used as a standalone focal point. Welcoming guests to your home, it contrasts beautifully with other varieties as an off-center specimen and it gives a symmetrical look when planted on both sides of an entryway. And since evergreen trees are associated with winter holiday celebrations, plant a Blue Wonder Spruce in your front yard, string lights in its boughs, and decorate it as a living Christmas tree!

Planting & Care

1. Planting: First, select an area with proper sunlight and well-drained soil. When planting, dig a hole for each tree that is three times as wide as the root ball but just as deep. You don’t need to add anything to the planting hole. Place the tree, fill in around the tree with the same soil you took out when initially digging the hole. Finally, tamp down as you fill to cut back on any air pockets from forming, water the tree, then mulch to conserve moisture.

2. Watering: For the first few weeks, water your new tree every other day by holding a hose around it and counting to 20.

After the first month, water once a week unless it is dry and hot (no rain and temperatures above 80 degrees). If it is hot and dry, water twice a week. After the first six months, the trees will be established and won’t need any extra water. Your natural rainfall should be sufficient at this stage.

3. Fertilizing: Your Blue Wonder should not need any extra fertilizer unless your entire lawn and garden have problems and needs regular fertilizing. Apply a balanced tree and shrub fertilizer at the beginning of spring.

4. Pruning: You won’t have to prune this tree if you are growing it with enough space for it to maintain its naturally graceful shape.
