Wiki Draft

Colorado Green Spruce is listed by The Daniels Nursery as a spruce and described as a fine ornamental evergreen. The catalog says it resembles Colorado Blue Spruce except for its color. Its foliage is rich, glossy, and deep green. [S1]

The source gives no breeder, parentage, release date, selection code, or place of origin. It appears as a nursery catalog entry in the spruce section, not as a documented fruit cultivar or breeding selection. [S1]

Its main landscape value was color contrast. Daniels recommended planting Colorado Green Spruce with Colorado Blue Spruce, using the green foliage against the blue forms. [S1]

No hardiness zone is stated for Colorado Green Spruce. The guide is a northern nursery catalog with broader evergreen planting advice, but this entry gives no direct winter survival claim. [S1]
