If you love the awesome blue color of a Colorado Blue Spruce but don’t have space for a large growing tree, ‘Montgomery’ is a true dwarf that might reach 6 to 8 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide when all grown up. Its branching is short and dense forming a globe when young that becomes a broad pyramidal cone shape over time. Its short, sickle-shaped needles are a stunning silvery blue color. Extremely tough, the foliage is resistant to winter burn down to -50F and maintenance is minimal to none. The more wind and/or cold this one gets the better it does! Drought tolerant and very easy to grow in a sunny to partly shaded environment, and with true blue color and well-behaved growth and modest size, these outstanding qualities make the Montgomery Blue Spruce one of those special focal point plants you want to choose just the right spot for in your landscape. This selection is a favorite of and can be found in botanical gardens around the world.
