Picea bicolor
— (-50°F, USDA Zones 2-8) In the ongoing taxonomic debate, we have once again

bicolor . A tight, pyramidal conifer, the needles are green above with blue
underneath. Possibly this is where the name bicolor originated. It is a
beautiful, large growing conifer that is not commonly seen. This is something
different for your garden, taxonomically correct or not.
