Information

The Blue Spruce Christmas Tree (Picea pungens) is a popular choice for its silvery-blue needles, full shape and sturdy branches that hold Christmas decorations well. Ours are grown in their pot from an early stage rather than dug up and re-potted, so the roots stay intact, which gives the tree a stronger start for life in the garden once the season ends.

The needles are short, sharp and stiff, which helps the branches hold decorations firmly in place. Handle the branches with care, especially around young children. Blue Spruce holds its needles well when kept cool and watered. Needle colour can naturally vary from silvery-blue to blue-green and may vary between individual trees and as the foliage ages.

Unlike a cut Christmas tree, this is a living, pot-grown tree that can continue growing after Christmas. Move it back outdoors once the festivities are over and either repot it into a larger container for potential reuse in future Christmases or plant it permanently in a suitable spot in the garden.

Please note that the pot is for illustrative purposes only. You will receive your tree in a black growing pot. We recommend repotting it in a larger pot than the one you will receive after Christmas so that the tree can grow.

Natural product: each tree is individual and may vary a little in shape, height and needle colour.

Expert Care Tips

A few simple habits keep your Blue Spruce looking its best indoors, then ready to move back outside once Christmas has finished.

Indoors:

• Acclimatise gradually: Keep the tree in a cool, sheltered spot for a few days before bringing it fully indoors.
• Avoid heat sources: Position away from radiators, fires and direct heating vents.
• Water little and often: Check the soil regularly and water when the top feels dry, without letting it stand in a full saucer.
• Watch the drainage: Empty any water that pools in the base of the pot to protect the roots.

Moving it outdoors after Christmas:

• Acclimatise outdoors first: Let the tree adjust gradually to outdoor conditions after Christmas before repotting or planting it out. Avoid planting when the ground is frozen or waterlogged.
• Loosen the roots gently: This helps them establish once back in the ground or a larger pot.
• Backfill and mulch: Firm the soil around the base and add a layer of mulch to help retain moisture.
