The blue spruce, also known as green spruce, Colorado spruce, or Colorado blue spruce, is a species of coniferous tree native to North America. It is commonly used as an ornamental tree and is found in USDA growing zones 1 through 7. The tree has blue-green needles and can grow up to 23 meters tall in the wild, but is usually smaller when planted in gardens and parks. It is susceptible to various pests and diseases, but is able to withstand drought and extreme temperatures. The blue spruce is also used in traditional medicine by Native American tribes and has cultural significance. It grows best in cool and humid climates with abundant moisture, but can also survive in drier conditions.
