Norway Spruce – Picea abies 100 Seeds | Fast-Growing Evergreen | Cold Hardy Christmas Tree | Windbreak | Wildlife Shelter | Shade Tree

Norway Spruce is one of the most dependable and fast-growing evergreen trees available. Known for its classic pyramidal shape and graceful, slightly drooping branchlets, this hardy conifer develops dense, dark green needles that create a full and attractive year-round display.

Typically growing 40–60 feet tall in cultivation (and capable of exceeding 100 feet in ideal conditions), Norway Spruce is extremely cold hardy and adaptable. It tolerates urban conditions better than many conifers and handles more summer heat and humidity than most spruces.

It performs beautifully as a specimen tree, privacy screen, windbreak, or traditional Christmas tree. When planted in rows, it forms an effective year-round screen and shelterbelt.

🌿 Wildlife Value:
Norway Spruce provides essential winter cover for deer and small game such as grouse and hare. Songbirds, hawks, and owls use it for roosting and nesting, making it an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes.
