Picea orientalis ‘Atrovirens’ is a striking evergreen known for its dense, pyramidal form and exceptionally dark green needles. Slower growing and more refined than many spruces, it brings strong structure and rich year-round color to the landscape. Its compact habit and elegant texture make it an excellent choice for specimen planting, screening, or as a focal point in larger gardens.

Growing Tips for Picea orientalis ''Atrovirens''
Prefers full sun to light shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then only during prolonged dry periods. Once established, it is low maintenance and moderately drought tolerant. Pruning is rarely needed. Remove only damaged or wayward branches in late winter or early spring. Avoid heavy fertilizing; a light spring feeding is sufficient if needed.
