The blue spruce, Picea Pungens, is a tree native to North America and is also commonly referred to as the green or Colorado spruce thanks to its area of origin. With its distinct blue-silver needles that fade to deep green, ideal shape and relative lack of needle drop, it has become a widely celebrated ornamental tree for use in the Christmas tree market and is even used as a medicinal plant and ceremonial tree in the Navajo and Keres Native American tribes.
