Brad argintiu in ghiveci - Picea pungens 'Blue Diamond' XXL H130-140 cm
- Royal Color: The name "Blue Diamond" is perfectly justified. The needle color is a deep blue that adds a strong visual contrast to any landscape and remains just as vibrant throughout the year. The color intensity can be influenced by soil pH; more acidic soil tends to deepen the blue shade.
- Shape and Structure: It naturally grows in a cone or pyramid form, very regular and dense, requiring little to no pruning to maintain a neat appearance.
- Size: It is a medium to large variety. At maturity, it can reach heights between 6 and 8 meters (although its growth rate is slow, about 10-20 cm per year).
- Hardiness: It is a sturdy, evergreen tree, fully frost-resistant (down to -40°C), adaptable to various climate conditions in Romania.
- Light: Prefers locations with full sun to develop its optimal color.
- Soil: Adapts to most soil types, although some sources mention that more acidic soil can intensify the color, but it also tolerates calcareous soils. Well-drained soil is important.
- Care: It is a low-maintenance plant, ideal for gardeners who want a strong visual impact with minimal effort.
Indoor care conditions:
This fir is an outdoor plant but can be kept indoors during the holiday season provided it is placed in a cool area (e.g., a closed/open balcony), well ventilated and watered when the soil is dry. It does NOT tolerate high temperatures and lack of humidity well.
Height including pot: 130-140 cm
Pot diameter: 24 cm
Each specimen is unique and has a slightly different shape.
Note: The transport pot may become damaged/cracked due to the weight of the soil and plant. The growth type of the fir may vary depending on the batch and producer. Some specimens are grown directly in the pot, while others are initially grown in the ground and then replanted in the pot.
For Bucharest, we recommend choosing the delivery option with a driver.
