Picea pungens 'Baby Blue'
Choose Baby Blue Colorado Spruce if you want classic blue spruce color in a tighter, more orderly tree. The tradeoff: it still needs open room and good sun; it is not a narrow foundation evergreen.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | The blue color and dense pyramidal shape give it a clear focal-point role without needing flowers. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a steady pace, but it will not give quick privacy like faster screening evergreens. |
| Maintenance | B- | It usually needs little shaping, but it should not be crowded into damp or poorly ventilated spots. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother this tree; it is a dependable choice where deer are a concern, though young trunks can still be rubbed. |
| Small Space Fit | C | It is more manageable than many blue spruces, but it still becomes too broad for small beds. |
| Screening Value | B | It can screen well where space allows, but the color and shape make it better as a visible feature than a tight hedge. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Baby Blue Colorado Spruce as a specimen first and a screen second. Give it air, sun, and room; do not squeeze it beside a walkway or entry.

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Good size but tree seemed to be root bound. Tree budding late August.

Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!
