Bruns Serbian Spruce

Bruns Serbian Spruce is an evergreen conifer tree with a tight, upright form, growing into a column, or very narrow cone, of dense branches. It will reach about 10 feet in as many years and be just 2 or 3 feet wide. In time it will pass 20 feet, but remain very, very slender. With its narrow profile it makes the perfect accent for smaller gardens, giving height without taking up room. On a lawn, alone or in a cluster, it is graceful and appealing, or plant it in the corners of your garden for a visual accent. Grow it in beds among other evergreens, on banks and slopes, or on the sunny edge of woodlands.

• Slender, upright column of blue-green foliage
• Neat and compact to 20 feet, but just 3 feet wide
• Dense foliage to the ground
• Perfect specimen for smaller gardens
• Easily grown and cold resistant

Full sun or a little partial shade is ideal for Bruns Serbian Spruce. It is very hardy, and thrives, in cooler zones, but not in the humid south-east. It will grow easily in any well-drained soil, and pests or diseases are normally never serious. Deer leave it alone, and absolutely no trimming is needed to keep its slender form. A striking, low-maintenance small tree considered very superior to Norway Spruce, but just as easy to grow.
