Colorado Blue Spruce 'Iseli Fastigiate'

Colorado Blue Spruce 'Iseli Fastigiate' (Picea pungens Iseli Fastigiate) — one of the most popular ornamental spruce cultivars, thanks to its unusual form and bright colour.

Here are the main characteristics that make it a favourite in landscape design:

1. Appearance

• Crown shape: Narrowly conical or columnar. The branches are directed vertically upwards, which makes the tree very compact.
• Foliage colour: A rich glaucous or bright blue. The colour remains stable throughout the year.
• Dimensions: Grows fairly fast for a spruce. At 10 years of age it reaches a height of about 2–3 metres with a width of only 1–1.2 metres. An adult tree can grow up to 10 metres.
