About some of our trees:
Colorado
Blue Spruce (Picea pungens glauca)
This
is a superb evergreen conifer with rich blue coloring, depending on the
individual plant. It has dense
branching and a pyramidal form that makes a wonderful living Christmas tree and
an excellent landscape specimen. It is
known for its extreme hardiness, and it grows in practically every town in
Colorado, from the plains to timberline.
It is tolerant of drought and very moist conditions, and very hot to
very cold weather, and will thrive best with medium, deep watering. Full sun is best, but it will grow in the
shade.
White
Fir (Abies
concolor) (local common name-Balsam)
This
is also a superb evergreen conifer with variable rich blue-green coloring. Grown in full sun with plenty of spacing, it
will form a tree with dense branching and pyramidal form, making a wonderful
Christmas tree and an excellent landscape specimen. White fir has soft, long, blue-green needles, and forms very
unusual upright cones at maturity. It
is less tolerant of extreme environmental conditions than blue spruce.
Douglas
Fir
(Pseudotsuga menziesii)
Named
after David Douglas (1798-1834), a Scottish botanist, this western American
species grows from Colorado to the Pacific northwest, and is known for its
majestic form. In Colorado, its light
green to blue green coloring, light to dense branching, and pyramidal form make
it an excellent landscape specimen. It
thrives best with some shade, especially in the early years, but will do well
later in open sun. At planting, some
southwestern shade is recommended.
Ponderosa
Pine (Pinus
ponderosa)
Named for the species’ ponderous size at maturity,
this tree grows in drier sites and poorer, rock and gravelly soils all over the
west.Its hardiness makes it a goodchoice for open sun planting where watering may be less than optimal.It will make a superb evergreen with dense
branching and a pyramidal form during its growing years, through 30 years of
age, and then form a forest-type specimen.
