This spruce tree is our most popular evergreen. A tried and true Prairie hardy tree for our harsh climates! With its dense branching, it makes for a perfect year round tree that not only provides wind slowing effects, but continued privacy into the winter months, when all the deciduous trees are bare.

Loved for the ornamental value, easy to grow nature and soil adaptability, it is widely used for many applications such as large laneways, Shelterbelts, and stand-alone trees on large properties and acreages.

Seedling size is approximately 12” tall , 1 year old
