Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Site this narrow, pyramidal Norway Spruce tree where its strongly ascending branches can develop into a mid-size, distinctly upright cone in the landscape. In addition to size and shape, this cultivar produces many soft-brown shoots and clean-green needles. Use it as a specimen in a small space that deserves a big impact or use it as part of a privacy wall. Another great evergreen conifer from nurseryman Andy Sherwood of Oregon.
