Description
Naturally growing in Serbia, Bosnia, and Herzegovina, the Serbian Spruce only has a few areas of native habitat remaining. It has done well in the midwestern and the eastern United States and is adaptable to many conditions. Serbian Spruce makes a great specimen tree, but they are also pretty when planted in a grouping. They mature into a nice, pyramidal shape without shearing.
They have a beautiful, shiny green needle that has silver bands on the underside. When crushed, the needles smell like citrus. Their needles are flat and around 1/2″ to 1″ long. Serbian Spruce has graceful drooping branches and nice, dense foliage. Cones on the Serbian Spruce are 1 1/4 – 2″ long and a pretty violet-purple color.
