CHRISTMAS TREE: COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE

The Colorado Blue Spruce tree takes its name from the color of its needles and its Spruce Family origins.  The blue spruce has a very wide range as shown below.

It's characteristics are ideally suited for Christmas tree decorations:

the color is a rich, dark blue-green, with bluish needle tips
the foliage is dense, creating a superior backdrop to Christmas tree decorations
needle retention is excellent
branch strength is excellent for holding larger ornaments
rich fragrance unique to this tree

Here are 2 pictures of the Blue Spruce Tree.

The natural maximum height range of the Colorado Blue Spruce tree is 100-115 feet, with a top age range of 400+ years.  Here is a close-up of the frond and new-growth needles.  Note that the dense needle formation makes an "ornament hook" a prerequisite for hanging Christmas tree ornaments on this tree.
