Picea abies fastigiata 'Compacta'
Columnar Norway Spruce
Currently unavailable
This Norway Spruce stands tall with smooth, gray bark and lush green foliage. It's a bit like 'Slim Jim,' but a bit shorter and with a wider spread. What's great about it is its ability to resist snow damage, thanks to its short needles and dense, narrow form. When it sprouts new growth, it's a vibrant green that matures into a handsome dark green with a fantastic texture. Whether you want to create a garden exclamation point in a small space or frame an entryway with two of these, it's a versatile choice.
