Notes
Morinda spruce (Picea smithiana) is a tree for specimen use and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It is an evergreen with green foliage and an erect habit. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. This tree comes from the Himalayas and grows tall, so give it plenty of room.
Pairs well with White fir, Mondo grass, Spurge, and Sasanqua camellia.
