Picea abies 'Acrocona' Common Names: Norway Spruce

Description:

Norway Spruce is a large conifer that is well adapted to much of the upper midwest. It is faster growing than many of the other spruces. It has a pyramidal form, developing long, pendulous branchlets with age. On older specimens, the lateral branches arise horizontally from the trunk, droop slightly and then have a slight upward curve near the tips with many pendulous branchlets in between. Foliage color is dark green. Norway Spruce produces pendulous cones up to 6 inches long. Prefers soil with ample moisture. Transplants well. Best in full sun, since foliage becomes sparse in shade.
