A graceful, upright evergreen with silvery-blue needles and elegant form that bring lasting beauty and color to every season
FEATURES:
- Distinctive blue-green needles with silver undersides that shimmer in sunlight
- Naturally pyramidal shape with softly layered branching
- Slender form perfect for smaller spaces or vertical accents
- Hardy, adaptable, and tolerant of urban conditions
- Provides year-round structure and color with minimal maintenance
- Excellent choice for specimen plantings or evergreen screens
- Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree; does not fit in a box
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip
Plant Silberblue Serbian Spruce in full sun to bring out the richest blue tones. It looks especially striking when paired with gold-leaved evergreens or plants with burgundy foliage. Because it stays relatively narrow, it works well in foundation beds or smaller landscapes where larger spruce varieties would be too wide. Add mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep roots cool during hot weather.
Growth Facts
- Hardiness Zone: 4-7
- Mature Height: 25-35' tall
- Mature Width: 10-15' wide
- Exposure: Full Sun
- Spacing: 10-15' apart
