The history of this tree dates back to 1862 when this tree was first discovered in Colorado. It was named after the botanist C.C who recognized its qualities and charms and turned them into what we know today as the weeping blue spruce tree. The tree was first spotted at the top of Pikes Peak. Thanks to C.C botanist, this landscape tree is today an amazing drought-tolerant tree in many yards all around the USA, Europe, and Canada.
