Live Norway Spruce Tree – Hardy Evergreen 12-18 Inches

The Norway Spruce (Picea abies) is a classic evergreen conifer prized for its rapid growth, dense dark green needles, and graceful weeping branches. This live tree, sized at 12-18 inches, is an excellent choice for creating a privacy screen, windbreak, or as a striking specimen in larger landscapes. Its symmetrical conical form and cold hardiness make it a reliable performer in many climates.

Norway Spruce is also a popular choice for living Christmas trees and can be planted outdoors after the holiday season. With its vigorous growth habit, it can quickly establish and provide year-round structure and color to your garden.

Planting & Care

When your Norway Spruce arrives, water it thoroughly and plant as soon as possible. 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.

Water 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.
