The sharp, stiff, pungently scented needles are in hues of blue and green and surround the stems, giving the spruce a dense habit. Small green cones will form early in the season before maturing to light brown and are often found in the canopy. Black Hills spruce are perfect for acreages, provided they have moist, well-drained soils in full sun. They do however tolerate some light shade. White spruce do best in cooler weather away from urban stresses. Skinny Blue Genes™ was selected for its intense blue needles, excellent cold tolerance, narrow habit, and ability to withstand prolonged periods of drought once established.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TimberPine","offers":[{"title":"#15","offer_id":48241457889529,"sku":"SPRSBG015","price":379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/4435\/9929\/files\/Spruce_Skinny_Blue_Genes2__63095.1767902672.386.513.jpg?v=1775334126","url":"https:\/\/shop.timberpine.com\/products\/spruce-black-hills-skinny-blue-genes-15","provider":"TimberPine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
