Picea pungens ‘Globosa’ is a very well-known dwarf Colorado Blue Spruce, it has an upright, broad form and blue needles that make it virtually indistinguishable from P.p. ‘Montgomery’. The needles are highly ornamental - they emerge silvery blue in spring and remain blue throughout the winter. The slow-growing, dwarf plant is globe-shaped when young, but will eventually form a leader as it matures and develop an upright, broad shape that is wider than tall. To maintain a globose or spreading habit, prune out upright or vigorous shoots. Grows 3-6 inches a year,
