Blue spruce evergreen trees (Picea pungens) grow wild in Western North America in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 8. This erect tree produces blue-green evergreen needles that are sharp to the touch. Blue spruces reach 30 to 65 feet tall, spreading 10 to 20 feet wide. With good care this slow-growing tree can grow up to 12 inches per year. Blue spruce trees grow well as showcase trees or as part of a windbreak. Examine the location of the blue spruce tree while it is still young enough to transplant.
Ornamental yard trees often reach 60 to 80 feet and 1.5 to three feet in diameter. Ostensibly reliable internet sources vary greatly on listed maximum heights. Some say more than 100 feet. Others cap the species off at 80, while one source lists 50 meters, or 164 feet. Thereâs little agreement, but the species pays no attention to such nonsense. Blue spruces know what theyâre genetically programmed to do, and in southwestern Colorado, the blues achieve their best growth. The Western Native Tree Society (WNTS), supporting the American Forests National Big Tree program, discovered a blue to break all records in the La Plata Mountains this August.
