Norway Spruce 7/8 ft

Norway spruce (Picea abies) is a species of spruce native to Northern, Central, and Eastern Europe. It is a large pyramidal evergreen conifer that can reach up to 100-150 feet tall. The tree has branchlets that typically hang downwards and the largest cones of any spruce, measuring 9-17 cm long. It is commonly used as a Christmas tree in Great Britain and has also served as the United States Capitol Christmas tree. Norway spruce is fast-growing and can live for up to 1,000 years. It is widely used for construction, pulp, furniture, and musical instruments.

Norway Spruce grows rapidly when young, up to 3 feet per year! However, its large mature size must be considered when siting. This tree should be given plenty of room and is ideal for spaces needing a fast-growing screen. It is also somewhat resistant to glyphosate herbicide, making it suitable for use near agricultural land.
