| Description | This classic tall timber tree has dark green evergreen needles on dense branches. Its pyramidal form has a graceful appearance because of pendulous branchlets. Develops a spacious understory as it matures. Tolerates heat and humidity better than other species. Works well for use as a tall screen or windbreak. |

| Bloom Time | Conifer; prized for foliage. |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Easy Care, Fast Growing, Benefits Birds |
| Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant |
| Growth Rate | Fast |

| Design Ideas | Very cold-hardy, this Spruce is the perfect symmetrically shaped Christmas tree. Excellent choice for a front-yard holiday tree or as a semi-formal accent in large yards. Lovely form under snowfall. Makes a pretty evergreen background for contrasting foliage colors, flowering shrubs or to highlight a fall leaf show in trees and shrubs. Line them up into a windbreak or incorporate into a wider shelterbelt. Good sound barrier along busy streets. |
| Foliage Color | Dark Green |
| Care Instructions | Prefers slightly acidic, well-drained soils, but adaptable to most soil types; avoid wet, shady sites. Water deeply, regularly in first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates mild drought. Fertilize before new growth begins in spring. |
| History | Beech (Fagus); Spirea (Spiraea); Butterfly Bush (Buddleja); Fountain Grass (Pennisetum); Mock Orange (Philadelphus); |
