as a privacy hedge or windbreak, plant 6 feet apart. Norway Spruce tolerates

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 10-12' in about 25 years. |
