The Dawes Arboretum

Common name: Pitt Cemetery Norway spruce

Family: Pinaceae (pine family)

Distribution: Species native to Europe

Hardiness: USDA Zone 4

Life form: Evergreen tree

Comments: A slow-growing, evergreen, low-rounded, open plant of witches' broom origin. This dwarf plant, with dark green foliage, grows 2½" per year. In ten years it should be no more than 3' tall and wide. Would make a nice specimen for a tight area or add to a collection of conifers.
