Picea engelmannii 'Fritsche'

Picea engelmannii 'Fritsche' is a remarkable selection of Engelmann spruce, prized for its intense silver-blue foliage, brighter and more sustained than the botanical type. Its narrow, naturally well-branched conical habit gives it an elegant and dense silhouette, ideal for planting as a solitary specimen, in groups, or as a focal point in a conifer garden. Very hardy, it tolerates cold winters and slightly dry soils well, and prefers a sunny exposure. Its balanced growth and disease resistance make it an easy-to-establish and long-lasting tree that retains its color throughout the year. 'Fritsche' is a highly decorative ornamental conifer, combining a neat shape, vibrant foliage, and low maintenance.
