Blue Spruce – Picea pungens
(30 seeds)
$4.35
Blue foliage makes for an unusual and attractive bonsai or a great hedge.
A conifer with very short needles, the Blue Spruce is a great tree for formal and informal upright bonsai styles as well as cascade and group planting.When pruning, pinch rather than trim the tips, and if you choose to wire it, exaggerate the bend as it does not set as well as most trees do.
