Common name:
Krissies Compact Norway spruce
Family:
Pinaceae (pine family)
Distribution:
Species native to Europe

Evergreen tree
Comments:
An evergreen selection of a seedling from a witches'-broom found in Pennsylvania. Said to be in a group called the "foxtail" type where the inner needles are longer than the outer ones. Ultimate size is undetermined. Even though a dwarf and listed as "compact," it still has potential of growing quite large. Use as a specimen.
