Description

As a large, slow-growing conifer, this tree requires ample room for growth. Its needles are 1" long, and its foliage is a beautiful shade of silvery blue. In order to develop its best color, the tree needs to be exposed to full sun. It can reach 60' tall. 'Glauca' has silvery blue needles.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
