This tree is best used as a specimen, wind break,
screen, or perhaps as an evergreen street tree for
narrow overhead spaces. It is surprisingly tolerant of
urban conditions, probably more so than other Spruces.
Grows best with some shelter from mid-day or
afternoon sun, though it tolerates full-day sun. Also
tolerates soils with a high pH. |
