A bold blue spruce with a strong, statuesque presence and icy blue needles that shine in every season
- Striking blue needles that hold their color year-round
- Dense, pyramidal form with strong branching
- Excellent as a specimen or evergreen anchor
- Hardy, resilient, and long lived
- Deer resistant and low maintenance
- Provides four-season structure and beauty
- Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree; does not fit in a box
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Give Bacheri a sunny location with well-drained soil to maintain the brightest needle color. Avoid planting too close to structures since this spruce enjoys growing tall and wide with time. Add mulch around the base to conserve moisture and protect roots, and water consistently while the tree is establishing. Once mature, Bacheri is low maintenance, resistant to pests, and tolerant of cold, wind, and tough conditions. Use this spruce to bring four-season strength to your landscape and to anchor plantings that need a dependable, evergreen backbone.

Why plant Bacheri Colorado Spruce?
Bacheri Colorado Spruce brings a sense of calm order and mountain strength to the landscape. Its needles gleam in bright blue tones, creating a cool, icy glow that stands out against green lawns, warm summer foliage, or snowy winter days. Known for its dense branching and symmetrical, pyramidal form, Bacheri grows into a beautifully architectural tree that looks sculpted by nature itself. This spruce offers year-round color, year-round structure, and years upon years of steady beauty. Cold hardy, dependable, and proud, it is a tree that feels both timeless and grounding.
How to use Bacheri Colorado Spruce in the landscape?
Use Bacheri Colorado Spruce as a strong focal point in open lawns, as a foundation evergreen in larger plantings, or as part of a windbreak or privacy grouping. Its bold color pairs beautifully with warm-toned deciduous trees, and its clean pyramid shape brings balance to mixed garden designs. Plant it at the end of a long drive, near a home’s corner for architectural support, or in groupings of three for a powerful evergreen display. Wherever it stands, it brings a quiet sense of dignity and presence.

How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
