Serbian Spruce
Picea omorikaAbout this product
Picea omorika, or Serbian Spruce, looks like a traditional Christmas Tree when young before its branches arch down at maturity.
Like most evergreens, it prefers free-draining soils and was introduced into the UK in the 1880s.
This lovely tree has immature cones that are purple-tinged before they open up brown.
Picea omorika is a lovely statuesque tree with a slender columnar habit ideal for extensive gardens or parkland.
Its foliage flushes a light green before maturing to a deeper green in summer.
Mature Height: 12-17m
