Spring Ghost Colorado Blue Spruce is a rare tree producing creamy white new foliage in early summer. The striking new foliage contrasts beautifully with the older underlying blue-green foliage of the previous year. The white new foliage slowly turns to a rich blue-green hue over the course of a few weeks. This pyramidal upright evergreen becomes a show stopper as it produces what could best be described as a “white bloom” in any landscape. It is a specimen tree that will adapt to well-drained average to rocky soils and is generally considered deer and rabbit resistant. It is drought tolerant once established and grows at a rate of around 6 inches per year. We recommend a little protection from late afternoon sun. One of the most dramatic specimens in the landscape!
