Picea pungens 'Blue Select'

This evergreen conifer showcases a dense, pyramidal habit and stunning silvery-blue needles that maintain their vivid color year-round. Hardy in zones 2-7, it thrives in cool climates, preferring temperatures between -40°F and 70°F. It performs best in well-drained soils with moderate moisture and full sun exposure. This variety does not have notable fall color changes or fruit but is highly prized for its consistent needle coloration and striking form. At maturity, it reaches a height of 30-50 feet with a spread of 10-20 feet. Its deer resistance makes it an excellent option for areas with wildlife presence, and it serves as a standout feature in landscapes, offering both beauty and structure.
