Slim Jim Columnar Norway Spruce
Picea abies fastigiata 'Slim Jim'
Columnar Norway Spruce
Currently unavailable
Known for its tightly columnar, evergreen growth, much like 'Cupressina' but even narrower. It features deep green foliage that creates a striking vertical presence in your landscape. Its dense foliage and vertical shape make it an excellent choice for creating vertical interest or framing entrances. This cultivar is also appreciated for its resistance to snow load damage, particularly valuable in regions with heavy winter precipitation. Please note that it may not be the best choice for areas relying on secondary water from Utah Lake.
