Colorado Blue Spruce (33.8KB)2 Colorado Spruce:  Native to the Rocky Mountains, this is a very popular landscape tree in the Portland area. These two were planted by Margaret Bruce's father on either side of the walkway to the parsonage for the Congregational Church which stood at this site in about 1936. One is happier than the other-possibly because of damage incurred when the alley was paved. (Margaret Bruce is a long-time FAN resident. Her father came to this area from Scotland, and worked as a landscaper/gardener for years at the Kerr Estate in Dunthorpe.) coloradospruce_needles.jpg (32140 bytes)
