Norway Spruce - Gower Fresh Christmas Trees

The Traditional Christmas Tree of old.

Norway Spruce (Picea Abies) is one of the most important species on the continent, native to Northern, Central and Eastern Europe There are probably around 100 forms and variations that have been identified and named. Norway Spruce is a large, fast-growing tree, growing 35–55 m (115–180 ft) tall and with a trunk diameter of 1 to 1.5 m (39 to 59 in). It can grow fast when young, up to 1 m (3 ft) per year for the first 25 years providing there are good conditions. The shoots are orange-brown and hairless. The leaves are needle-like with blunt tips, 12–24 mm long, quadrangular in cross-section (not flattened), and dark green on all four sides. It has branchlets that typically hang downwards. It is very closely related to the Siberian spruce (Picea obovata), which replaces it east of the Ural Mountains, and with which it hybridises freely.

This is a tree to buy closer to Christmas as it loses its needles slightly faster, however is a very reasonably priced tree as it grows very fast. This old favourite has a beautiful aroma that will create that Holiday sensation for the whole family.
