Blue Spruce Christmas trees
The one that looks like a photograph.
Nothing else is this color. Silver-blue, dense, and symmetrical to the point of looking arranged, blue spruce is the tree people photograph.
The branches are among the strongest of anything we sell. If you have an ornament nobody else’s tree can hold, it goes here.
Two honest warnings. The needles are genuinely sharp, so wear gloves to decorate and think twice with toddlers. And keep the stand full: it holds its needles well when it is watered, and like most spruces it suits a tree that goes up in December rather than one standing from mid-November.
