Remarkably short, narrow, and brilliantly blue needles, closely arranged at an acute angle to the stem. Initially slower in growth compared to the species during its youth, this tree, handpicked by Roger Mackiness of Corbett, Oregon, matures into a large, formal specimen. This unique form of the Blue spruce boasts a captivating and vivid blue hue, all while maintaining a perfectly shaped and well-defined form.
