  • Description

  • Notes

Serbian spruce is a slow-growing evergreen conifer with a narrow, pyramidal habit, reaching (eventually) 40 to 60 feet tall but only 15 to 20 feet wide. It has glossy, dark green needles that have a silvery white band on the underside, giving it a subtle bi-colored effect. Young cones are egg-shaped, about 2 inches in length, and are purple, maturing to a reddish brown. Use singularly as a specimen or in groups.
