Add a touch of silver-blue brilliance to your assortment
Picea pungens ‘Blue Diamond’® is a true highlight in the conifer range. This CPVO-protected variety combines a strong, upright pyramidal habit with intense, silvery-blue foliage that retains its colour all year round. Thanks to vegetative propagation, plants are uniform and consistent in shape and colour, making them a reliable choice for production and sales.
With its predictable, moderate growth (66 cm in six years, 125 cm in twelve), hardiness to -25 °C, and strong tolerance to drought, Picea pungens ‘Blue Diamond’® is both easy to produce and effortless to maintain. Its compact, elegant shape and striking silvery-blue colour make it a true eye-catcher in any garden. It’s a reliable performer for growers and an irresistible choice for end customers.
Available in P10.5 r10-15.

In the email, provide the company name, contact details, and the expected date of receipt of the order – this will help us plan work in the nursery.
When will my order be confirmed?
Every order we receive is confirmed within 48 hours (working days). If during this time you do not receive an email from us, check your “spam” and “offers” or call us.
When can I pick up my order?
We adjust the dates of orders to meet your needs, so report the date of the planned collection 2 weeks in advance (February-April – 3 weeks in advance). This will facilitate the timely, efficient, and correct preparation of plants and their careful packaging.
Pickup of orders is possible from week 37 (2025) to week 18 (2026).
I’m a new customer, when do I have to pay?
We accept cash payments, credit cards, and bank transfers to our bank account based on a pro forma invoice before picking up your order. Pre-payment includes 100% of the order value. After making the payment, please send us confirmation of the transfer because it accelerates the preparation of the plants for pickup.
