Unusually uniform branches, covered with short, dark green needles, point up and out on this distinct, nest-style spruce. When young, Picea abies ‘Pumila’ has a more rounded habit than the familiar, flatter types, but it eventually spreads out with age too. New growth appears later in the season than it does on other nest types. It has dark green evergreen foliage which emerges light green in spring. The needles remain dark green throughout the winter. It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. Deer resistant and urban tolerant. Grows 3-5 inches a year.
