Picea abies
Spruce - Norway
The Norway Spruce is a true northwoods giant that can reach heights of 90 feet or more. This conifer has the same conical shape as the White Spruce, but exhibits the signature drooping branches of Norway Spruce as it matures. This fast growing evergreen is dark green with short, shiny, stiff needles. 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.
