The Color of the Colorado Blue spruce 
The Color of the Colorado Blue Spruce is similar to the bloom 
or sheen on a grape or plum.It is a powdery substance that can 
be wiped off the needles.This accounts for the trees losing co- 
lor after a hard winter of snow and ice.The new growth again 
shows the blue color. The trees we offer are grown from especially 
selected Blue Spruces. It must be remembered that only a cer- 
tain percentage will grow into "Blue Shiners", because of this 
we cannot guarantee the ultimate color. In young trees the 
blue color is less distinct, but should get more pronounced 
as they grow older. We mention these facts so that our custom— 
ers will not be disappointed upon delivery of the trees.
