Colorado blue spruce are sought after trees due in part because of their blue hue and winter interest. They are a very stately tree, forming a pyramidal shape with horizontal branching. This Rocky Mountain native is recognized by its stiff, short blue-green needles that surround the branches. In maturity, grey bark can be furrowed and small, conical brown cones will form in the upper canopies. Blue spruce prefer acidic, well-drained soils in full sun, however they will tolerate periods of drought and some light shade if good growing conditions are met. They will do best if soils are allowed to be consistently moist, provided water drains freely. Cooler climates often produce bluer needles. 'Baby Blue Eyes' was selected for its dwarf habit and bluish-gray needles that hold their color well throughout the year.
