A stunning touch of cool color and structure
Customers will love this tree for its exceptional icy blue-silver foliage that provides striking year-round color and stands out beautifully in the landscape. With its naturally dense, upright pyramidal form, this tree is an excellent choice for privacy screens, windbreaks, specimen plantings, or evergreen accents. Beyond mere aesthetics, this tree offers practical benefits to homeowners looking to enhance their outdoor spaces.
Once established, it showcases impressive heat and drought tolerance, making it a strong option for warmer climates and lower-maintenance landscapes. Its unique blue color and attractive shape set it apart from traditional green evergreens, adding a distinctive character to your yard and providing a refreshing pop amidst its surroundings.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a well-draining site with full sun to partial shade for optimal growth. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and equal in depth. Place the tree at the same depth it was in the pot, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.
2. Watering: Water this tree deeply during the first growing season to establish roots. After it’s established, reduce watering as it is tolerant of drought. Water during extended dry spells, especially in hot weather.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can affect the tree's natural form.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support growth. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for application rates based on the tree's size.
