PICEA PUN BLUE DIAMOND

PICEA PUN BLUE DIAMOND
Grower Notes:

Picea pungens 'Blue Diamond' (Blue Diamond Blue Spruce) is a highly-sought-after cultivar of the Colorado spruce, celebrated for its impressive, year-round silvery-blue foliage. It features a dense, symmetrical pyramidal form, making it a standout specimen in any landscape. It grows slower than the straight species, approximately 6 inches per year, eventually reaching a mature height of 25 feet. This manageable size, combined with its striking color, makes it an excellent choice for a focal point in a garden, a privacy screen, or a windbreak.

Blue Diamond Blue Spruce is also easy to grow and maintain. It's a low-maintenance, deer-resistant conifer that thrives in full sun and a variety of well-drained soils. Once established, 'Blue Diamond' is drought-tolerant and can handle tough conditions, including cold temperatures (USDA Zones 3-8) and urban pollution. It is ideal for a variety of landscape applications including privacy screens, windbreaks, or as a vertical accent in garden beds.
