I live in the northwestern part of Alberta, Canada. I have been thinking of growing Colorado Spruce and Scotch Pine trees for Christmas trees and landscaping. The trees will be purchased from a tree farm in the Southern part of Alberta near Calgary. I plan to purchase 12-15" Colorado Blue Spruce. The Scotch Pines will be 6-10" in height. Can you give me any insight whether these trees will survive if purchased from an "out of the area" region? I heard somewhere that you should keep to similar elevation and within a certain distance of where the seeds were originally harvested from.
