Norway Spruce - Picea Abies
GREAT COLD TOLERANT EVERGREEN!
The Norway Spruce can grow to Christmas Tree height in as little as three years. It will continue to grow rapidly to a mature height of 50 feet.
A dense tree that easily blocks out wind and neighbors, it is ideal for use as a privacy barrier, wind screen, or even a traditional showpiece. Attracts and creates a safe haven for wildlife!
You'll enjoy its deep rich color year-round...it's even drought tolerant!
Believed to be the most cold hardy spruce available, it will grow in any northern state.
Also, the Norway Spruce is the most disease resistant spruce you can find.Any serious disease or insect problems that kill other spruce trees do not affect the Norway Spruce.
Plant every 8-10 feet for a solid green privacy screen. Plant on the northern edge of your property for a substantial wind barrier and help lower your winter heating bills.
Adaptable to a variety of conditions and soils. Very cold tolerant.
