Overview & Description

The Bakeri Spruce (Picea pungens glauca ‘Bakerii’) is a standout dwarf evergreen prized for its perfect conical shape and striking steel-blue needles. This slow-growing gem maintains its intense blue hue all year long, adding reliable colour and structure to small gardens. Its naturally neat form develops a symmetrical cone without pruning, providing architectural interest with minimal effort.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits a dense, conical, and slow-growing habit, adding just 3-6 inches yearly. It forms a compact, perfectly shaped tree ideally suited for limited spaces, typically reaching a mature size of about 6 to 10 feet in height with a spread of 4 to 6 feet.

Additional Notes

Evergreen with intense steel-blue foliage year-round. Exceptionally hardy to Zone 3 and drought-tolerant once established, it thrives with minimal care while providing winter shelter for birds. Its naturally neat form makes it an outstanding choice for foundation plantings, rock gardens, or as a small-space focal point where reliable colour, structure, and low-maintenance beauty are desired.
