OTHER: Native only to the US, Blue Spruce has been widely introduced around the globe, hugely popular for its ornamental beauty & adaptability. Like many, I myself love the gorgeous silvery blue of the foliage. Blue Spruce trees really catch the eye & will stand out in the landscape. Being extremely cold hardy & able to live in the drastically cold temperatures of zone 1 as well as the warmth of zone 8’s climate, they can thrive in a large variety of areas. They are popular as specimen trees in homes, parks, & commercial sites, & being an evergreen conifer with dense branches, they also make an excellent windbreak. They are a superb selection for adding color & texture to any site you choose for them, & their unique coloration provides a nice contrasting backdrop for other surrounding standard green plants that may otherwise blend in to a monochrome landscape. Additionally, Blue Spruce trees can help prevent soil erosion.
In their natural habitat, these trees can grow to reach heights of 100’ or more, but in cultivation typically don’t grow larger than 50’ tall by 15’ wide. They have gorgeous red pollen cones, & their mature brown pinecones measure 4”long & are popularly used in crafts & as décor. This spruce also has many traditional medicinal uses.
The Blue Spruce is the state tree of Colorado! Our seeds were harvested in Colorado, so you will be growing true Colorado Blue Spruce trees!
The Blue Spruce, a timeless classic beloved for their stunningly beautiful signature silvery-blue color, remains one of the most popular types of Christmas trees. Their dense branching provides a full appearance & their sturdy branches hold the weight of ornaments well. Spruce trees retain their needles for around 4 weeks after being cut if they are kept well hydrated. The fragrance is delightful, with a scent of cool pine & crisp woods that is clean & Christmasy. Capturing the essence of a stroll through a pine forest, Blue Spruce manages to be both refreshing & invigorating as well as warm, inviting, & relaxing with woody earthy undertones.
And, guess what the living Christmas Tree on the White House’s south lawn is? Yep, you got it – it’s a Blue Spruce!

(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!

We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
