Picea Abies 125/150cm Pot Grown

Picea abies, commonly known as the Norway Spruce, is a large evergreen conifer native to Europe, particularly thriving in the mountainous regions. It is well-known for its impressive height, distinctive appearance, and wide range of uses, making it a popular choice for landscaping and forestry.

Key Characteristics:

• Height: Norway Spruce can grow to impressive heights of 30 to 50 meters (100 to 164 feet) with some exceptional specimens reaching up to 60 meters (197 feet).
• Spread: The tree typically has a spread of about 6 to 10 meters (20 to 33 feet) at maturity.
• Foliage:
  • The tree features flat, needle-like leaves that are dark green, measuring 1 to 3 cm (0.4 to 1.2 inches) in length.
  • The needles are soft and flexible, and they have a pleasant scent when crushed.
• Cones: Norway Spruce produces cylindrical cones that can grow up to 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8 inches) long. The cones are initially green and turn brown as they mature, often dropping from the tree in late autumn.

Growing Conditions:

• Soil: Prefers well-drained, moist soils but is adaptable to a range of soil types, including sandy and clay soils.
• Light: Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially when young.
• Watering: Requires regular watering, particularly during dry spells. Once established, it can tolerate some drought but benefits from consistent moisture.

Ideal Uses:

• Ornamental Tree: Its impressive height and symmetrical shape make it an excellent choice for large gardens, parks, and estates.
• Christmas Tree: Popular as a Christmas tree due to its attractive form and excellent needle retention, making it a favorite among families during the festive season.
• Windbreaks and Screens: Can be used effectively to create natural barriers and privacy screens in gardens and landscapes.
• Forestry: Widely planted in commercial forestry for timber production due to its fast growth and straight trunk.
