Black Hills Spruce is an extremely hardy
pyramidal evergreen which grows well in a wide variety of soils.
Not particularly susceptible to bugs and disease Black Hills do get
Spruce gall aphids, bagworms and sawflies. Black Hills Spruce can
grow to 60' and a spread of 25'. Black Hills is hardy from zone 2-6.
Black Hills Spruce is a medium grower, outpaced by the Norway Spruce
but grows faster than a Blue Spruce. Black Hills can be planted as an ornamental, Christmas Tree or a
windbreak. Also can be planted en mass. It is said that Black Hills
Spruce are salt tolerant. I have seen browning of the needles when
planted on the east side of a road treated with salt brine. Though
they transplant easily, Black Hills Spruce can be successfully
transplanted in mid-summer with
rootbags. These Black Hill Spruce trees make an excellent choice
for Christmas tree and is fast becoming a favorite in the Midwest.
They shear well to develop a full tree from a seedling in a short
time.
