Notes
'Bruns' Serbian spruce (Picea omorika 'Bruns') is an evergreen tree for specimen planting, accent, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly and has an arching habit, so it suits a spot where you want a tidy shape for years. Birds visit it. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Hinoki cypress, Lenten rose, and Sedge.
