The blue spruce is doing fine so far. I had it in full sun over the winter because we had cool temps. Now that it is warmer, I moved it yesterday so that it only gets morning sun because I don't want it to cook. I did the same thing last summer when I first got it. I found out that something labeled 'full sun' means morning sun in Florida, unless it's tropical.

The reason that I chose this particular spruce was that I liked the color and the weeping effect. I was also looking for one that was labeled for zone 9a where I live and Kigi Nursery markets it that way.

Good luck if you decide to try growing one.
