Notes
'Hillside Upright' Norway spruce (Picea abies 'Hillside Upright') is a tree for specimen, accent, and winter interest plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy soil. It grows fast in a conical shape and stays green all year. Deer tend to pass it by. Birds visit the tree, so give it room to reach its full height.
Pairs well with Winterberry, Incrediball Blush smooth hydrangea, and Bridal Crown daffodil.
