This makes it perfect for planting in those tight spaces in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Evergreen needles are densely packed with lighter green new growth that ages to dark green with a bluish cast during winter. Slender brown cones are also very attractive. Low maintenance and exceptionally cold-hardy to -40F while also being more heat and humidity tolerant than other Norway Spruce varieties. Snow loads are not a problem and there's no need for pruning as it naturally maintains the dense and narrow form all on its own.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Cupressina Columnar Norway Spruce is ideal for use as a vertical accent in sunny to partially shaded small to medium size landscape or garden spaces. Also excellent to frame entryways or fill those narrow spaces where some height is needed in tall home foundation plantings. Also suited for use in containers.

As with so many other conifers, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic; leading to root rot or other harmful plant diseases. So make sure to plant this one in well-drained soil, whether in the ground or in pots. It grows well in full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. Does not grow well below Zone 7b in the South but will grow fine in Zone 8 in cool-summer western and northern climates. No pruning is required however a damaged or stray branch can be removed when needed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote: \u003c\/span\u003e Find helpful advice from our experts under the Planting \u0026amp; Care tab above on desktop monitors or below on mobile devices.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144319283354,"sku":"D2LSC 750491109","price":37.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/picea-abies-cupressina-columnar-norway-spruce-10.jpg?v=1779925987","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/cupressina-columnar-norway-spruce-picea-abies-1-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
