Nursery Stock > Evergreen Trees

Fir, White

Abies concolor Ht 70 ft, Spd 25 ft. Full sun or part shade, moderate water. Normally deer resistant. Large conical evergreen with 1½”-2½” long, soft bluish-green needles, brightened in spring by very blue new growth. A softer textured plant that offers a change from the much planted Colorado Spruce. Grows best when protected, but adapts well to varying conditions. It will not grow as well in heavy clay soil.
Fir, Subalpine

Abies lasiocarpa arizonica, Ht. 50-90ft., Spd. 15 ft. Low to Moderate Water Needs. Full Sun to Part Shade.Can grow over a wide range in the Western US. They are also known as Rocky Mountain or Alpine Fir. The silver-gray needles are usually 1-1 ½ inches long and typically point upward. The bark is creamy white and cork-like. As younger trees they are more openly branched, filling in as they mature. These trees tolerate heavy snow, and do well in windy locations. Prefers well drained soils, and will tolerate dry conditions. The Corkbark can grow as tall as 100’. A comparable tree to the Colorado Blue Spruce in shape and color.
Juniper, Blue Point

Juniperus chinensis ‘Blue Point’ Ht 8 ft, Spd 4 ft. Full sun, low water needs (xeric). Keeps its natural broad, pyramidal shape without shearing. Reaches a height of about half of most other uprights.
Juniper, Medora

Juniperus scopulorum 'medora' Ht. 16-20ft., Spd. 4-5ft. Full Sun. Low water needs (xeric). Slower growing juniper with narrow columnar habit that keeps its shape without pruning. Dense, bluish-green foliage. A male clone from the Badlands of South Dakota.
Juniper, Rocky Mountain

Juniperus scopulorum Ht 20-40 ft, Spd 3-15 ft. Full sun, low water needs (xeric). Typically a pyramidal tree, but can also be vase-like, or a mounding shrub with multiple stems. The color varies from dark green to bluish-green. A greater amount of variability, though, can occur in its winter color. Withstands drought conditions very well. Ubiquitous throughout the Rockies. Many named cultivars available.
Juniper, Skyrocket

Juniperus scopulorum ‘Skyrocket’ Ht 15-20 ft, Spd 3-4 ft. Full sun, low water needs (xeric). Blue-gray foliage on vertically growing branches that create a columnar form. Suitable for planting where space is limited. Can sometimes broaden with age.
Juniper, Spartan

Juniperus chinensis ‘Spartan’ Ht 15-17 ft, Spd 4-5 ft. Full sun, low water needs (xeric). This juniper is very durable in heat, cold, salt and drought. It will display an erect pyramidal to columnar form with fine textured dense rich green foliage. It can be used as a medium screen, or as a formal specimen. Prefers well drained soils.
Juniper, Wichita Blue

Juniperus scopulorum ‘Wichita Blue’ Ht 16-20 ft, Spd 8-12 ft. Full sun, low water needs (xeric). Attractive feathery, silver-blue foliage on an open form. Does great in exposed locations.
Pine, Austrian

Pinus nigra Ht 50-60 ft, Spd 20-40 ft. Full sun to part shade, low water needs (xeric). A dense, stoutly-pyramidal pine with a uniform crown becoming more open with age. Ponderosa and Austrian growing side by side will look the same more often than not. Cultural differences tend to be greater than genetic differences.
Pine, Austrian Dwarf

Pinus nigra ‘nana’ Ht 15 ft, Spd 10 ft. Full sun to part shade, low water needs (xeric). Similar to its big brother Austrian Pine in everyway except in size. This plant will work great in smaller yards, or where any small evergreen tree is needed.
Pine, Bristlecone (Foxtail)

Pinus aristata Ht 20-30 ft, Spd 12-20 ft. Full sun, low water needs (xeric). Bushy, irregularly shaped, pine with dark green needles dotted with white pitch. Slow growing Rocky Mountain native that grows into ancient specimens on exposed slopes in high elevations. Drought tolerant, and it must have good drainage. Great for a specimen in a hot dry area.
Pine, Dwarf Mugo

Pinus mugo ‘Pumilo’ Ht 4-6 ft, Spd 4-8 ft. Tolerates full sun, low water needs (xeric). Small rounded multi-stemmed evergreen with variable height and spread. Maintains attractive green color throughout all seasons.
Pine, Ponderosa

Pinus ponderosa Ht 50-60 ft, Spd 20-40 ft. Full sun, low water needs (xeric). Deer resistant. A fast growing tree native to our area. Long needles with open branches. Branchlets are stout. As with other xeric plants, ponderosa should be planted above grade if in a sprinkled lawn area. Hand dug trees have a very low survival rate in sizes larger than about four feet. We have over a 98% success rate with the trees we produce and spade dig. We do not sell hand dug Ponderosa.
Pine, Pinon

Pinus edulis Ht 15-30 ft, Spd 15-20 ft. Tolerates full sun, low water needs (xeric). Deer resistant, edible nuts in cones. Native to much of our area, pinon is a dense, slow grower-about six inches a year is normal. Should always be planted above grade, and slightly higher in lawn areas where it will thrive if this practice is observed. We have seen these growing beautifully up to 9000 ft. elevation in natural and man-made plantings.
Pine, Vanderwolf's

Pinus flexilis ‘Vanderwolfs Pyramid’ Ht 20-25 ft, Spd 10-15 ft. Full sun to part shade, low to moderate water needs. Distinctive, densely branched, pyramidal selection of Limber Pine. Its branches display long, twisting blue-green needles with a light blue line on the undersides. Will do better in lighter soils.
Spruce, Baby Blue Eyes

Picea pungens ‘Baby Blue Eyes’ Ht 18 ft, Spd 8 ft. Full sun to part shade, moderate water needs. Upright, semi-dwarf of sky gray color. More blue in light shade. Great for small areas.
Spruce, Blue Totem

Picea pungens Fastiglata Wells ‘Blue Totem’ Ht 12-15 ft, Spd 2-3 ft. Full sun to part shade, moderate water needs. ‘The totem’, is blue, and is columnar, and it’s a great accent tree. Never grows very wide. Can be planted between windows and wine boxes.
Spruce, Colorado Blue

Picea pungens Ht 50-80 ft, Spd 25-35 ft. Full sun to part shade, moderate water needs. The Colorado State tree. Very symmetrical, pyramidal evergreen native to the Rocky Mountains. Sharp, stiff needles give rise to its botanical name of pungens (sharp-pointed). Trees vary in many shades of color from bright green to silver-blue. Most widely planted of evergreens. Can be 100 ft tall
Spruce, Bakeri

Picea pungens ‘Bakeri’ Ht 20 ft, 12 Spd ft. Full sun to part shade, moderate water needs. Deep blue, pyramidal form. Adaptable to various soils and conditions. More drought tolerant than most spruce.
Spruce, Fat Albert

Picea pungens ‘Fat Albert’ Ht 30-40 ft, Spd 20-25 ft. Full sun, moderate water needs. Broad, dense selection of Colorado Blue Spruce with silver-blue color.
Spruce, Englemann

Picea englemannii Ht 50-80 ft, Spd 20-30 ft. Full sun to part shade, moderate water needs. Similar in size and color variation to blue spruce but with more layered, spaced branching. Many specimens are mistaken for blue spruce. Needles angle more from the branches and needles on the top growth lay tight against the leader. Most of the trees in the spruce forests of Colorado are Engelmann rather than blue spruce. Transplants readily.
Spruce, Hoopsi

Picea pungens ‘Hoopsii’ Ht 40-50 ft, Spd 15-20 ft. Tolerates full sun, moderate water needs. A selection of Colorado Spruce. Imagine the bluest spruce you have ever seen. Got it pictured? Every Hoopsi is that color. Compact growth, irregular shape, and that blue color make it an outstanding specimen.
