Picea pungens 'Scottie'

Common Name: Scottie Colorado Spruce

This quaint little blue spruce forms a tight pyramid with an upright, symmetrical branching habit. A moderate grower with the typical powdery blue color of the species, ‘Scottie’ takes the shape of a chubby little teardrop, making it an ideal choice for today’s smaller landscapes. Drought tolerant and incredibly hardy, this plant is able to handle extreme conditions. This cultivar was originally found as a seedling at Schaeffer’s Nursery in Gresham, OR, and was named in honor of owner Scott Schaeffer. (Iseli Nursery)
