This beautiful spruce is commonly known as the "Oriental Spruce" or "Caucasian Spruce".
It is a species of spruce native to the Caucasus and adjacent northeast Turkey.
It is slower growing than most spruce and is very dense in habit.
The short needles are a lovely dark green colour.
It makes an excellent specimen for a lawn or large garden.
Mature plants may produce small but attractive red pollen "cones".
Being slow growing makes it ideal to use as a potted Christmas tree.
