Globe Blue Spruce vs Dragon Spruce

Dragon spruce is a unique looking spruce, as it is more shaggy and irregular than most spruces. They have sharp, stiff needles that are directed forward on the branch and their colour ranges from grey/green to blue/green.

They will grow in nutrient poor soils and can tolerate stronger winds, making them a good choice for providing shelter.

This species has been declining due to deforestation and related human activity in western China, its native range. It has notable genetic diversity for a spruce with a number of unusual growth habit variants. Given the cultural significance of the dragon, this tree should not be underestimated for its beauty or usefulness.

The Globe Blue Spruce is a uniquely shaped evergreen shrub species, with a rounded and compact form. It has silvery-blue needles that can last all winter, which add to its ornamental value.

The Globe Blue Spruce is a cultivar of the Blue Spruce and is especially popular in urban environments for its eye-catching shape, cold-hardiness and high pollution tolerance.
