Blue Sprouce
Latin name: Picea pungens
Picea pungens, commonly known as Colorado blue spruce,
is a resilient evergreen tree with blue-green needles. It thrives in various
soil types, from sandy to clayey, and can withstand strong winds. While it
offers edible parts like male catkins, female cones, inner bark, and seeds,
it's primarily an ornamental tree valued for its beauty and resilience. Perfect
for woodland gardens and providing a refreshing tea from its young shoot tips
rich in vitamin C.
