Meet the Weeping Colorado Blue Spruce – an epitome of elegance in the world of evergreens! Its lush powder blue needles, larger than life, transform any garden into a breathtaking spectacle. Resplendent in vibrant blue leaves, it combines the grace of a weeping Norway Spruce with a unique charm. As years pass, its sculptural form intensifies, and its foliage skirt develops, enhancing its allure. To reach its majestic height, staking is necessary, but its beauty makes the effort worthwhile. What sets this tree apart, besides its visual splendor, is its resilience. Withstanding temperatures as low as –50°F, it thrives in even the harshest climates. The Weeping Colorado Blue Spruce stands as a testament to nature’s artistry, enriching landscapes with its unparalleled beauty and unwavering strength.
