The Norway spruce is native to Europe but generally grows faster than our native spruces. These trees have a pleasing, conical or spire-like form, with pendulous branches, which distinguish it from other spruces. Norway Spruce transplants easily. It is good for windbreaks and for wildlife cover in winter. As with many conifers, it is sensitive to salt, heat and drought.
