Picea pungens 'Hoopsii'
Hoopsii Colorado Spruce
Large evergreen conifer with extremely blue foliage. The needles are long and thick, which makes them even more attractive. Will have a nice pyramidal shape at maturity, but won't have a full, sheared look. This makes the contrast between the outside vibrant blue needles and inner green needles even more noticeable. For a short time in the spring, the cones are a beautiful magenta, which looks amazing against the bluest of blue needles.
