Spruce/ Ruby Tears

  • A striking dwarf, spreading, blue selection of Colorado spruce that provides a vibrant color display early in the growing season.
  • Abundant emerging cones are red to magenta, contrasting vividly against teal-Blue foliage generally lasting for at least four weeks, longer in cooler weather.
  • As cones age, they take on a khaki color & will eventually deteriorate rather than dislodge. The foliage softens to a more pleasing sky blue into summer.
