      Why plant Weeping Colorado Blue Spruce?

      Bring some whimsy to your garden with a quirky Weeping Blue Spruce! This unusual evergreen tree will bring a smile to your face every time you catch a glimpse of it outside your window. Its branches, clothed in frosty blue foliage, don’t assume the usual pyramidal shape of most conifers, but instead arch and tumble to the ground, creating a one-of-a-kind focal point that acts as a living sculpture for your garden. It’s a natural for cascading over rock walls or boulders or can be staked to make a fun, free-form specimen if you want a little more height.

      Blue Spruce is a native tree that you’re likely to see from the ski lift on a trip to the Rocky Mountains. Known popularly as “Colorado” Blue Spruce, it can also be found from the forests of Wyoming all the way down to the cooler regions of New Mexico. In the wild, it typically becomes a tall, narrow pyramid of prickly green needles, but this selection is a true-blue beauty with a unique pendulous form. Weeping Blue Spruce originated at a Dutch nursery by the name of Koster & Co. in 1895.

      How to use Weeping Colorado Blue Spruce in the landscape?

      With its baby blue foliage and funky form, your Weeping Blue Spruce will be the center of attention in your landscape. Plant it near your entryway, patio, or pool, and it won’t take long for guests to ask, “What is that crazy tree?!”

      How To Plant Weeping Colorado Blue Spruce

      Weeping Blue Spruce is easy to grow and care for in much of the U.S. (though it struggles in the hot, humid Deep South). Full sun is a prerequisite, and drainage must be excellent. Think of its cool, dry Rocky Mountain homeland. As you can imagine, heavy snows and frigid winter temperatures are no problem for this super-hardy tree, and it has no serious pest or disease issues, either. If you decide not to stake it, do be sure to plant your Weeping Blue Spruce in an area where its branches have room to crawl along the ground or—better yet—can spill over the edge of a wall or large planter box.

      How To Water

      Be sure to water your new Weeping Colorado Blue Spruce well after planting. Doing so will encourage the roots to grow outward into the surrounding soil. Water every three to four days during the first growing season.

      How To Fertilize

      We recommend using the Bower & Branch Starter Plant Food when planting. For ongoing care, you should reapply each spring to ensure that your tree has the nutrients it needs for the year.

      How To Prune

      With its slow growth rate and unique, weeping habit, pruning your Weeping Colorado Blue Spruce is not necessary. If you want to prune for shape, you should do so in spring.

      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!
