Last fall we had many customers call our\u00a0garden center looking for a small evergreen tree that could be used as a year round privacy screen, while not taking up their entire yard or growing into power lines. Our favorite small evergreen tree is the Baby Blue Eyes Spruce.<\/p>\n<p>While not a true dwarf ornamental, the Baby Blue Eyes Spruce tree is the closest thing to a dwarf evergreen tree on the market today. A typical Colorado Blue Spruce will grow 50-75 feet tall and 20 feet wide. For homeowners with size constraints, this simply will not work. However, the depth of color and thickness of needles found in a Colorado Blue Spruce can be hard to replicate. The Baby Blue Eyes Spruce offers all the benefits of the Colorado without the massive size.<\/p>\n<p>The Baby Blue Eyes Spruce features the same wonderful color as the Colorado, with a range of greenish to deep blue colored needles. This species is quite drought tolerant. This dwarf evergreen produces a clear pyramidal form of fine branches covered with scaly purple tinged gray bark. Short, four sided dark blue-gray needles are sharp, stiff and densely held to produce an attractive form. Incorporating a Baby Blue Eyes Spruce into your landscape offers a variety of benefits.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Winter Color:<\/strong>\u00a0Look out your window. What do you see? For winter color and a pretty silver blue, the Baby Blue eyes is a great option.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privacy Screen:<\/strong>\u00a0Many homeowners need privacy from their neighbors, roadways and driveways. Since the Blue Eyes is non-deciduous, it will hold it&#8217;s need and stay full and blue all winter long.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Small Landscape Size:<\/strong>\u00a0The Baby Blue Eyes is one of the few options for homeowners that cannot fit a large evergreen into their landscape.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Specimen Tree\/Focal Point in Landscape:\u00a0<\/strong>The texture, size and color make the Baby Blue Eyes an excellent choice for a specimen tree in your landscape. Visitors eyes are drawn to it, especially in the summer, as it &#8220;pops&#8221; out of the other colors surrounding it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Baby Blue Eyes is very drought resistant and prefers full sun. It will take some shade, which will increase the depth of it&#8217;s silvery blue color. This well shaped evergreen requires little to no maintenance.
