An outstanding spruce known for its beautiful dense, silvery-blue foliage. Adds a great accent color into the landscape. Stays smaller than the species which gives it an advantage to home owners with limited space. The 3-5" greenish oblong cones mature to brown. It easily tolerated urban pollution, road salts, and oceanside salt spray. It provides a wonderful shelter for birds. Deer resistant and drought tolerant.
