Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This dense, globose Serbian spruce boasts a unique display of two colors: its green needles are flipped and held upright to show off their silver-blue undersides. As the low conifer matures, it can form a leader, which gradually changes the shape to that
A dwarf form of the handsome Serbian Spruce; the stomatal bands on the glossy blue-green needles give it an attractive bicolor effect on this compact, dense, bushy miniature. S/M
Most of ours are sheared into a tight globe, but if left unsheared, they will develop into a very broad compact pyramid. The green needles on top and blue needles on bottom produce a beautiful bi-color effect. Growth Rate slow, 3-6" annually

Dense, thickly branched, rounded globose form, needles green with silvery undersides. Deer resistant. Zones 5-8.
