Norway spruce

PICEA ABIES

The Norway Spruce is a true northwoods giant that can reach heights of 90+ feet.  This conifer has the same conical shape as the White Spruce, but exhibits its signature drooping branches as it matures.  Dark green color with short, shiny and stiff needles is found on this fast growing evergreen.  A common choice for windbreaks since its strong and flexible form can withstand winds of over 100 mph.  The Norway Spruce tolerates dry locations better than other spruces, but prefers loamy, well drained locations. This tree is very adaptable to most conditions and naturally deer resistant.
