BLUE MAGOO ENGELMANN SPRUCE
Picea engelmannii 'Blue Magoo' is commonly called Blue Magoo Engelmann Spruce. This striking cultivar of the Engelmann Spruce is celebrated by enthusiasts for its intense, powder-blue foliage. Unlike the typical species, 'Blue Magoo' is a semi-dwarf selection that maintains a dense, broadly pyramidal habit. Its needles are notably thicker and more vibrant than other blue spruce varieties, often appearing almost silvery-white in certain lights. Because of its slower growth rate, typically averaging about 6 to 10 inches per year, it is an excellent choice for medium-sized landscapes or as a focal point in a conifer garden where space might be a constraint.
To keep this spruce thriving, it should be planted in full sun to ensure the blue coloration remains vivid and the branching stays tight. It prefers moist, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil and does not tolerate "wet feet" or standing water, which can lead to root rot. While it is cold hardy (thriving in zones 3 through 7), it appreciates some protection from scorching, dry winds in its youth. Once established, 'Blue Magoo' is relatively low-maintenance and rarely requires pruning to maintain its tidy, symmetrical shape, making it a wonderful and beautiful addition to the landscape.
