Arborist Thoughts
- One of the most adaptable spruces and one of the most graceful and beautiful evergreen trees in general.
- An excellent evergreen tree for urban areas because of its narrower growth habit, unlike Norway spruce and White pine that can become quite wide and unruly at maturity.
- Less susceptible to insect infestation and needle cast diseases than other spruce.
- Should be considered as an alternative to using White spruce or Blue spruce in the landscape.
