Care Information
General Care
Watering: Water every 4-5 days, keeping the soil moist. Once the tree is established water only during dry spells. This tree is drought tolerant. Sun: Colorado Blue Spruce needs full sun. Pruning: The Blue Spruce does not need to be pruned.
Planting Guidelines
Plant the Colorado Blue Spruce in a sunny location with moist, well-drained soil. Dig a hole that is as deep as the root ball and 2-3 times as wide. Once you place the tree in the hole, the top of the root ball should be leveled with surrounding soil. Fill the hole halfway with fill dirt, then add water to remove any air pockets in the soil. Finish filling the hole and water again.
Winter Care
The Colorado Blue Spruce is tolerant of cold weather. These trees also do not go dormant. Their growing processes simply slows down during this time.

I do sincerely apologize that your Blue Spruce did not do well. I understand that is frustrating and it is also not up to our standards. I will be happy to send you a replacement. Can you please send me your address, and I will send one out as soon as possible for you.
Sincerely,
Janelle
