Spruce, Norway Dwarf Pusch

Description

Norway spruces are symmetrical and formal-looking with strong wood and dense, deep green foliage made up of short, square needles in drooping branchlets. Spruces are prized for their color and distinct form that holds up well even with age. Pusch is a dwarf shrub with bright green needles and tiny red cones that create a stunning spring display. Prefers moderately moist, well-drained soil but perform well in clay soils of the Midwest. They can be planted in most average soils in the area with enough moisture during establishment. Avoid pruning lower branches, they will help shade and cool the soil.Because of their moderate growth rate, Norway spruces form a dense habit that rarely needs pruning. If needed, prune just the new growth in the spring as it is forming.
