A spire-like evergreen, tall and stately with bluish-green needles, more densely branched and fuller than the species; slow growing. Makes a wonderful vertical accent for the larger home landscape, ideal as a windbreak or in a shelterbelt.
Black Hills Spruce has bluish-green foliage which emerges light green in spring. The needles remain bluish-green throughout the winter. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. The smooth gray bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape.
