Blue spruce (Picea pungens glauca) seedlings - Box of 80

$600.00

80-pack of 2 year old Colorado blue spruce seedlings, averaging 15cm tall. Ready to plant into pots and grow on.

All our seedings are sent as plug stock without containers for more efficient transport. Please plant directly out into the field or pot up on arrival. 140mm pots are the ideal size to pot these seedlings into and hold in for up to 1 year.

Growers:

Pot up and grow on for 1-2 years to get your trees to a suitable size to plant out in the field and give them time to adapt to your climate. Avoid fertilising in the first few months after planting as this can burn seedlings. Blue spruces are hardy but very slow growing. Though drought tolerant, water regularly and well to keep them growing at maximum rate. Blue Spruces like gentle slopes or hilly terrain with good drainage and hate wet feet. Avoid boggy or very clayey soils in landscape depressions or drainage lines. They thrive on acidic soils and will tolerate lightly alkaline soil. Trees are frost tolerant down to -30’C but do not like long periods of hot or dry weather. A sheltered spot or cold site is best. Trees do not need pruning to maintain Christmas tree shape.
