Blue spruce are slow growers wherever they're planted. In less than full sun, they slow down. In 50/50 shade/sun they barely grow. My wife had some blue spruce in nearly full shade on her old place, after 15 years they were 3-4' tall.

Yeah being 3 miles south of you doesn't help my blue spruce growth either Lee. The red pines I planted a year after the spruce are already 8-10' tall while the blues are still around 5'.

I have had great luck with Black Hills Spruce on sandy soil, and actually on somewhat wet soils as well. Pic in Pope County MN

Pic in Pope County MN Black hills and white pine are the only things I've ever grown successfully. Everything else has gotten eaten, died, or drown in shade and weeds. The road screen whites and norways I planted are showing some hope, but far from catching traction and taking off yet. It is afterall still only the end of year 1.
