Here is my new Picea Pungens 'The Blues' that I am trying to grow in a planter in Florida. I currently have it on the East side of the house so it gets morning sun because I don't want to overheat the roots by putting it in full Florida sun now when it is so hot outside, especially since it is in a planter. In late Autumn when it cools down I plan on moving it to the South side of the house.

A little information about 'The Blues': It is a dwarf weeping Colorado Spruce that has large bright powder blue needles and was found at Stanley & Sons Nursery on a side sport of a 'Glauca Pendula'. It should be staked to keep an upward momentum.
