Upon receiving your trees, make sure to take your trees out right away. You can store them outside, out of direct sunlight until you decide to plant them. Once they are planted, they can be in direct sun. Due to the tree pots being in a bag, this will allow the soil to stay moist. So watering your trees won’t need to be done as frequently, especially in the colder months.

Planting:

Ideally it is best to plant in fall or spring, but it is possible to plant in the winter time as the Colorado Blue Spruce can tolerate a wide vary of temperatures. Avoid planting when the ground is frozen.  These trees are hearty but still don’t like the freezing temperatures when there roots are still establishing.  If planting in the winter time, to protect these young trees, use sticks or stakes to prop the tree up.  To prevent from freezing, wrap in a vinyl guard or tree wrap. If you decide not to plant in ground until spring, you can plant your trees in any deep pot or even a 5 gallon bucket will be fine!

When planting, dig hole that is as deep as the root system and about 3 inches wider that the roots width.

Water:

When newly planted, water every couple days to keep soil moist but not soggy.  After a month, water weekly unless in rains or snows in the duration of that week.

When planting, dig hol

When planting, dig hole that is slightly deeper than the trees root system, allowing the roots to go straight down in the hole so they can stretch out.

Water:

When newly planted, water every couple days to keep soil moist but not soggy.  After a month, water weekly unless in rains or snows in the duration of that week. These trees are prone to needle cast which is a fungal issue. It is caused from to moist of an environment. The needles will start to rapidly die verses the typical needles drying out. To help prevent this, try to avoid watering overhead and not getting the needles wet. Keep in a more ventilated area. Neem oil can be applied to the needles to help combat the issue!

Sun:

Once planted, allow tree to get at least 4-6 hours of sun per day.

Tree Health

A very common concern I get is, “Why are my Ponderosa pines needles turning yellow or brown?” To put your mind at ease, your tree is still very healthy! This is typically just desiccation or drying out of the needles. This is normal, and you will notice that the needles will fall and be replaced by new ones. If your tree has lost most of its needles, just keep watering like normal as it is preparing itself for more growth!

Congrats on your new bonsai tree! 

Your Colorado Blue Spruce Bonsai tree is going to love its new home, below are some care instructions to keep it happy and healthy!

Tree Lighting and Placement

*Your tree should remain outside for most of the year.  Colorado blue spruce are very hardy and can handle an array of climates!  Be mindful of scorching hot days or below freezing temperatures.  You can simply move your tree into a more temperature controlled environment in the winter (like a garage) and in the summer into a slightly more shaded area to prevent any scorching of the needles.  These trees love sunlight!  Place in an area that gets good morning sunlight, and more indirect lighting in the afternoon. Keep in a slightly more humid environment.  Avoid having your tree inside for no more than 2 days as it can put it in shock.

Watering

*This particular species is more drought tolerant, so water more frequently isn’t so much needed.  Water your tree when the top 2 inches of soil has dried out.  They do like to be dried out a slightly before the next watering!

Fertilizing

*Due to inadequate nutrients in the bonsai soil, fertilizing regularly is recommended with any conifer bonsai fertilizer. You will want to fertilize every month during its growing season.  Growing season is late spring to early fall.

Repotting

*You will want to repot your bonsai every 4-5 years in an all purpose bonsai mix soil in a planter of your choosing! Just make sure its got adequate drainage and more room to grow!

Tips

*Using filtered or Reverse Osmosis water for these trees is very much recommended!!
