Success Starts With Soil

Meyer's blue spruce is a stunning ornamental tree with a distinctive pyramidal shape and vibrant bluish-green needles that hold their color through winter. More disease-resistant than Colorado spruce, it’s a great choice for replacing less hardy varieties. With its refined form, smooth gray bark, and low maintenance requirements, this tree makes an excellent vertical accent or windbreak. It thrives in full sun, adapts to a range of soil types, and is highly tolerant of urban pollution, making it perfect for both residential and city landscapes.

Growing Tips for Picea meyeri

Meyer's blue spruce thrives in full sun and adapts well to a variety of soil types, as long as the soil is well-drained. It’s tolerant of both dry and moist conditions and can handle environmental salt, making it a great choice for urban environments. While it requires minimal maintenance, it’s important to prune only the new growth during the growing season, removing any dieback as needed. This tree is highly disease-resistant and does not attract deer, making it a low-maintenance, resilient addition.
