Meyer Spruce Christmas trees
Blue spruce's look without the sharp edges.
Meyer spruce is what people reach for when they want the blue-spruce look and have been jabbed by one before.
Similar blue-green color, similar dense and uniform shape, similar strong branches. The needles are blunter and easier to work around, and it holds them longer indoors than a Colorado blue does.
It is less common than the firs. You can cut your own at Clear Lake or Princeton, or pick one up at any of our three Twin Cities lots.
