Serbian spruce (Picea omorica)

Serbian spruce is common ornamental tree in Northern Europe. The native habitat is small area in Balkan mountains.

It grows up to 20m tall. It has very narrow, spear-like shape and thus is suitable even for smaller gardens. Needles are two-colored - dark blueish green above and light-blueish and white below. Grows on wide range of soils as long as the ground does not dry up completely. In Estonia winter-hardy.

Serbian spruce is the most decorative in small group, mixed with large bushes. Two-colored foliage is beaufiful throughout the year.
