Product Information:
The Norway Spruce is one of the more popular spruce trees planted around the world and is often used in both the lumber and Christmas tree industry. Its faster growth habits (up to 3 feet annually) at younger ages allow it to become a relatively nice sized tree within a few years of planting. It has a nice cone shape during its youth maturing into a large size tree up to 130 feet tall. The needles are short with blunt tips from 1/2 to 1 inch long with a rich, often dark green color.
Norway Spruce originates from Europe dominating the Scandinavian forests and thrives well in the US in cooler, moist climates. Here in Wyoming, once established Norway Spruces will live and tolerate the harsh Wyoming conditions but would require watering in its early years. In other northern and northwest states, it should do well as long it has adequate moisture during its first few seasons after planting. Also, this spruce has good animal resistance especially from deer, but may attract rabbits as seedlings. As always, its a good habit to protect the trees while young from nibbling predators.
