Description
This is one of the most handsome of the spruces, with icy-blue/silver foliage and layered horizontal branches on a conical structure, to make a fine Christmas tree form. The younger needles are more silver, while the older needles tend towards dark green. This brings out the layered shape of the tree and makes it particularly attractive seen in the distance. The tree grows to around 3m in ten to twenty years.
Common Name: Colorado Spruce Edith
Latin Name: Picea pungens ‘Edith’
