  • Description

  • Notes

Black Hills Spruce is an attractive, dense, symmetrically pyramidal evergreen tree that slowly grows to 20 to 25 feet tall and 10 to 12 feet wide, making it one of the few non-dwarf spruce varieties well suited to smaller landscapes. New needles are bright green, darkening to a blue-black-green. Cones are smallish.
