Hemlock, Canadian

(Tsuga canadensis) Native

A most graceful evergreen; softer appearing than spruces and pines...requires good garden soil and will grow in complete shade or in sun...can be sheared into a hedge or left alone it will reach 50 ft. tall and 30 ft. wide in the home landscape (picture above)...two trees planted in shade at Nikolay middle school in Cambridge have averaged 12 inches of annual growth.

Spruce, Black Hills

(Picea glauca densata)

An offshoot of our native white spruce but acclimated to harsher, dryer and more exposed growing conditions...as such, it's a great choice for recently developed subdivisions...greater branch density (see above) than most evergreens provides a more formal character...cones are much smaller than other spruces, reaching only one to two inches long...known to be slower growing than Norway spruce, they reach 30 ft. tall and 15 ft. wide in most landscape settings.

Spruce, Norway

(Picea abies)

Fast growing, beautiful and adaptable evergreen...easy to grow in any well drained soil...withstands windswept, exposed areas...dark green, lustrous needles that keep their color even during the worst winters...four to six inch cones are colored an ornamental red when young (pictured above) maturing to light brown...reaches 50 ft. tall and 25 ft. wide at a pace of 18 inches annually.
