How to Grow and Care for Oriental spruce

Oriental spruce exhibits a distinctive conical shape, characterized by a dense and compact growth habit with tiered branches that vary from upright to horizontal and even drooping. The branches stretch out, covering the full height of the tree, often reaching down to the ground. This evergreen has short needles and adapts to a wide range of soil qualities, even those with low fertility. Its preference for cooler climates and sensitivity to heat and humidity is notable. Additionally, oriental spruce benefits from shelter against severe winter winds, which can impact its health. The tree's need for specific environmental conditions should be taken into account when planting.
