The popular tree the Blue Spruce is the state tree for Utah and Colorado. The Blue Spruce A.k.a. the Colorado Blue Spruce is loved because it is incredibly attractive and espouses the classic Christmas tree triangular shape. Commonly people use this tree when they plan to heavily decorate their Christmas trees in the United States and Europe. These trees grow in Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and sometimes as far as Arizona. Though in their younger years famed for their perfect shape, as the Blue Spruce becomes older it will become deformed. Some Blue Spruce trees are known to grow for over 700 years.

When you first view a Blue Spruce it will be an awesome site. Compared to other Christmas trees the Blue Spruce has relatively short needles that are also very sharp and pointy. The needles have a blue and sometimes white coloring giving the tree its name Blue Spruce. Like most of its cousins the Blue Spruce is a self pollinating tree. However this tree is different because its cones stay on for many years and the tree itself has unusually thin bark. This kind of tree can grow best under medium shade and healthy, nutrient rich soil.

Of the Spruce family the Blue Spruce is the most popular. There are more than 70 different types of Spruce trees. Spruce love being near water is their roots grow deep and prevent them from falling in storms and high wind. These trees are somewhat vulnerable to disease and pests and because of that they are carefully bred to only have the strongest species. The Blue Spruce should appear a medium color brown with soft wood and unless pruned improperly, knot free. For you Christmas this year you cant go wrong with a Blue Spruce.
