Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Place the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and water deeply to settle the roots. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help the tree establish. Once established, Norway Spruce is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from supplemental water during dry spells. Pruning is generally not necessary, but you can shape the tree lightly if desired. This hardy evergreen will provide years of beauty and function in your landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne live Norway Spruce tree, approximately 12-18 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836025209142,"sku":"FOLIA2-1910","price":91.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6564844788_c0cp.jpg?v=1793097502","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/live-norway-spruce-tree-hardy-evergreen-12-18-inches","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
