The Colorado spruce, blue spruce, green spruce[1] white spruce,[2] or Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens), is a species of pine tree native to the Rocky Mountains of the United States, from Colorado to Wyoming, and introduced as a popular ornamental tree found far beyond its native range.

Growing to 15 m (49 ft) tall by 5 m (16 ft) wide, it is a conical evergreen conifer with scaly grey bark. Waxy grey-green leaves, up to 3 cm (1 in) long, are arranged radially on the shoots, curving upwards. The pale brown cones are up to 10 cm (4 in) long.[3][4][5]
The specific epithet pungens means “sharply pointed”, referring to the leaves.[6]
The blue spruce is the State Tree of Utah and Colorado.[7]
Picea pungens and its many cultivars are often grown as ornamental trees in gardens and parks.[4][5][8] It is also grown for the cut Christmas tree industry.[4]

Difficult without cone but a wild guess – is it Cedrus deodara?


This one is a dwarf cultivar of  Picea pungens (Colorado Blue Spruce).
