Notes
'Inversa' Norway spruce (Picea abies 'Inversa') is a tree for specimen, accent, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It is an evergreen that grows at a rapid rate, and birds visit the tree.
Pairs well with Degroot's Spire American arborvitae, Drumstick primrose, and Red fescue.
