Norway Spruce
zones 2-7 |
| Description:
A fast growing Spruce with down sweeping dark green branches. If used
as a privacy hedge or windbreak, plant 6 feet apart. Norway Spruce tolerates
most soils if moist and transplants easily if balled and burlapped or
potted. Trees subjected to drought are much happier if they receive periodic
irrigation although they tolerate drought well. |

Picea pungens 'Bakeri'
Bakeri Dwarf Blue Spruce
zones 4-7
|
| Description:
A grafted variety that is deeper blue than the normal species and has a very
compact growth habit. Makes a good landscape specimen where a smaller
evergreen tree is required. The tree prefers a rich, moist soil, and
benefits from irrigation in dry weather. Trees benefit from a layer of mulch
extending beyond the edge of the branches. This keeps roots cool and reduces
moisture loss from the soil. Grows 10' in about 25 years. |
