The Bird’s Nest Spruce, Picea
abies 'Nidiformis', is a slow growing dwarf
evergreen that has light green new foliage. There is
usually a depression in the center of the plant, giving
rise to the common name. Light green foliage on
spreading branches rises up slightly with nodding tips.
This spruce bears dark green
needles that are much shorter and daintier than those of
the typical species. Use this distinctive plant for rock
gardens or as a specimen. This fast growing evergreen
tree is extremely hardy and wind resistant, and performs
best in full sun or minimal shade.
This spruce has a pyramidal
growth habit when young, becoming columnar when mature.
Evergreens are excellent plants for adding structure,
color and texture to your yard or garden. And if you
have a small area, try this one in containers for that
special place in your garden or patio.
This plant works well in
low-maintenance gardens, make good foundation plants
against buildings. |
