GARDEN
If you have a large garden, a Colorado Blue Spruce can be a real feature tree when mature, especially if it is an alpine rockery, coastal, high above sea level or woodland garden. If you have a small to medium sized garden it is possible to make it grow smaller by growing it in a raised bed with base or large planter. This will create a bonsai effect and restrict it's growth, so even in 50 years time it might only be 8ft tall. As an evergreen conifer it remains green throughout the winter, and there is no leaves to clear up in autumn.
BONSAI
Bonsai trees small enough to place on a table or shelf are no different to normal trees, they have just became miniature by only having limited space to grow, in a small pot. Some bonsai trees are centuries old. If you are interested in Bonsai Colorado Blue Spruce can be used to grow a conifer bonsai tree. It can be placed on a garden shelf/table or on an apartment balcony, or grown indoors.
