Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This cute little Engelmann spruce is a sight with its brilliant steely-blue, long, pointy needles. A dwarf tree which starts out with a somewhat uneven and rambling form before finding its resolve and standing up to take on a dense pyramidal, Christmas tree shape. This makes a darling addition to the landscape, reaching 5' tall and 3' wide. S/M

These came from Talon with no description, growth rate seems moderate and the color is good with a neat conical shape they should reach 4-5' in about ten years, presumably, they originate from somewhere on Mount Hood.
