Your plant is Picea pungens glauca 'globosa'. The Globe Blue Spruce is a nice miniature plant with a good globosa habit. It is also very compact and dense with great blue coloration. It originated in Boskoop, Holland in the nursery of A. Kluis as a seedling. It was introduced in 1955 and has since become extremely popular and is now one of our best selling Colorado Blue Spruces. It is an excellent selection for the small garden since it will get to about 2.5' high and wide in ten years. |
