Picea mariana 'Blue Tier Drop'


Like a shimmering blue drop of color, this extremely cold hardy black spruce provides a beautiful addition to even the smallest garden.

A combination of sea green and cobalt blue, this very slow growing, less than 3 inches per year upright spruce has a whimsical quality, as if a giant estate tree had been shrunk to miniature scale.

The black spruce family of trees also provides one of the most cold tolerant of any species able to survive temperatures down to -40 fahrenheit.

The next time you walk through your garden remember it only takes a small Picea mariana ‘Blue Tier Drop’ to add a vivid splash of 365 days of color.
