Very short, glossy, dark green needles, held close to the stems of Picea orientalis ‘Gowdy’ give the well-defined, recurved, sweeping branches a distinctive appearance. The soft-to-the-touch spruce develops into a stately accent that stands out among other greens in the landscape. Grows 15 inches a year. Deer resistant and drought tolerant.
