The blue spruce, green spruce, white spruce, Colorado spruce, or Colorado blue spruce, with the Latin name Picea pungens, is a species of spruce. It is native to Canada and the United States and is found in growing zones 1 through 7.

The blue spruce has blue-green colored needles and is a coniferous tree.
Like spruce, a strong wood that excels in everything except the Dark Arts. However, a witch or wizard with a strong personality can coax more out of a blue spruce wand than just a spruce one. Unskilled wandmakers from the Rocky Mountains called blue spruce a difficult wood, but in doing so they revealed their own ineptitude; it was quite true that it required particular deftness to work with spruce, which produced wands that were ill-matched with cautious or nervous natures, becoming positively dangerous in fumbling fingers. Blue spruce requires a firm hand because it often appeared to have its own ideas about what it ought to be called upon to produce. However, when spruce meets its match - which, in 's experience, was a bold spell-caster with a good sense of humor - it became a superb helper, intensely loyal to its owners and capable of producing flamboyant effects. Popular with the wizarding community of Colorado and the states of the Rocky Mountains. It is Colorado's state tree.
