Picea pungens 'Waldbrunn' - A slow-growing miniature, this flat, spreading Colorado Spruce boasts a remarkable color that defies description -blue/gray/green---you decide. Its form is nest-like, with short, horizontal branches of thick, tough needles that overlap and provide reinforcement for the structure. Hardy enough for extremely cold climates, it is an ideal choice for a low, colorful sphere of color in garden bed or large container.
