Picea abies Remontii
Remontii Norway Spruce
Remontii Norway Spruce (Picea abies ‘Remontii’) is a very slow-growing dwarf with a neat, cone-shaped outline. Upward-directed branches and short green to yellow-green needles form a small evergreen pyramid.
Its measured pace makes it appropriate for close viewing among other dwarf conifers. The ten-year dimensions describe a young established specimen, not a final size. Allow it to retain its natural form and leave space for gradual growth over many years.
Grow in sun with moist, well-drained soil. Cool summers suit Norway spruce best; avoid waterlogged sites and prolonged drying while roots establish.
