Product Description

10 Colorado Blue Spruce Trees 30-40cm Picea Pungens 'Glauca' bare rooted 4 years old

 

These are BARE ROOTED plants which can be planted from the end of October until April and will be dispatched as soon as the weather turns cold and they become dormant.The dispatch date depends on the Autumn temperature and varies from year to year.

 

A species of spruce native to western North America. It is most commonly found growing along stream sides in mountain valleys. The needles are blue tinted, grey-green. The blue colour is caused by the waxes on needles. The more wax on a needle, the bluer it is. The trees can be green when young and will turn bluer as they get older. The wax can be wiped from the needles by manual handling and  by the rain when the plant is young.

 

It is a medium-sized evergreen tree growing to 15m+ tall, exceptionally to 25m+ tall, and with a trunk diameter of up to 1.5 m. The bark is thin and scaly, flaking off in small circular plates. The crown is conic in young trees, becoming cylindric in older trees. The cones are droopy with thin, flexible scales 20-24 mm long, with a wavy margin. They are reddish to violet, maturing pale brown 5-7 months after pollination.

    Quality with lots of roots

    Posted by Scott on 7th Dec 2023

    These came quickly and were excellent with lots of long roots. The trees have begun to develop their shape by standing them in water. Thank you.

    Very happy with the product and service. Will be ordering more trees soon! It is worth noting that these trees are green and do not turn the silver blue colour until they are a couple of years older.
