This Norway spruce is a dwarf conifer with a pyramidal shape, reaching no more than 4-5 feet tall and wide. It has much shorter, denser branching than the species. Like other spruces, it is extremely cold-hardy. It will do best in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Norway spruces are easy to grow and tolerant of difficult growing conditions. They have stiff, sharp pointed needles 1/2-1 inches long.
