As a large, slow-growing conifer, this tree requires ample room for growth. Its needles are 1" long, and its foliage is a beautiful shade of silvery blue. In order to develop its best color, the tree needs to be exposed to full sun. It can reach 60' tall. 'Glauca' has silvery blue needles.

Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
