Colorado Blue Spruce 
SPRUCE 
Picea excelsa (Norway Spruce). One of the 
best types for “‘Living Christmas’’ trees, es- 
pecially as a lawn specimen. Growth very sym- 
metrical, opening enough to decorate with 
lights. Dark, rich foliage. Moderate growth. 
Picea pungens (Colorado Spruce). Stiffer in 
appearance and much slower growing than 
others. Makes an excellent outdoor Christmas 
tree or small specimen.

Sequoia gigantea, California Big Tree. 
Beautiful trim pyramidal tree with blue 
green foliage. Thrives anywhere except 
on the desert. 
Sequoia sempervirens (Coast Red- 
wood). More rapid growing, this cousin 
of the Big Tree has longer needle-like 
dark green leaves and the same bright 
reddish bark. In young trees the 
branches fall gracefully and fan out at 
lower levels.
