Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Waldbrunn spruce is a dwarf evergreen shrub. It is grown for its light blue-colored needles and small, round shape. This slow-growing spruce has a compact, nest-like structure with horizontal branches that grow 2-4 inches per year.
It may have limited availability at plant nurseries.
There is one Waldbrunn spruce growing at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. It is a beautiful little plant with a nice blue color and slow growth rate. We highly recommended this dwarf evergreen where a low, colorful sphere is desired.
No maintenance required under normal conditions. Needs regular soil moisture to become established. New growth and young plants can be susceptible to deer browsing.
