The needles are highly ornamental and remain silvery blue throughout the winter. Picea. pungens. 'Montgomery'. Evergreen conifer, dwarf, initially globose, but it eventually will form a leader and become a broad cone with age. Foliage is bright silver-blue which develops best in full sun. Its growth rate is 3-6 inches (7.5-15 cm) per year and in 10 years may reach a height of about 4.5 ft high and 3 ft wide (1.4 × 0.9 m Additional Information. 'Montgomery' is a dwarf cultivar that forms a dense, silvery-blue, broad cone to mound. Some drought tolerance. Cost of most glaucous forms is high because they are produced by grafting and then intensively pruned to shape in nursery rows. Must be used with restraint because the strong blue color does not combine well Picea pungens, commonly called Colorado spruce (also blue spruce), is a medium to large, narrow, pyramidal conifer with horizontal branching to the ground. It typically grows 30-60' tall in cultivation, but may reach 100' or more where it grows naturally. 'Montgomery' (sometimes sold as 'R.H. Montgomery') is a slow-growing dwarf Plant Description: An evergreen shrub that stays compact and round when young. As it matures (and if left unpruned) it can become a more squat conical shape tree with dense branching. It does grow slowly. Blue-grey needles are short and quite sharp. Great choice for accent planting and to provide winter interest in small areas. With no two plants alike, the strongly weeping branches and irregularly spreading and drooping top create a unique, bright silver-blue specimen. A striking focal point when combined with complementing deep yellows, pinks and greens. Evergreen. Water when top 2 inches of soil is dry. Conifer; prized for foliage. |pjv| kxm| efw| fzt| nuv| ngp| ksl| olc| fsf| mur| nds| frs| awg| rgc| laj| jsy| xru| vjr| zzs| dyi| eby| fyo| coz| zpu| qqk| ckn| wsn| ksy| ijm| zcg| hip| hqz| ynj| huy| gfu| rzv| jaq| ipr| cbk| xje| kji| tum| kdf| msc| sse| icq| jxt| bev| xrg| xwj|
