I love visiting arboretums and botanical gardens to see how grand they can be.

We don't grow too many conifers here in Santa Barbara - junipers and a few pines - but that Picea would be a great form to put in the right garden.

A good siting for it.

I like how full it is - much better than our scrawny, leggy 30-year-old spruces. <br /><br />I'm not sure what cultivar ours are, but they certainly don't get better with age. The bottom branches die out, and we have to lop off more of them every year. They used to provide a lot of privacy in our yard, but not anymore.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.com
