A slow-growing dwarf conifer with lime green new growth that matures to deep green; distinctive red cones in spring mature to brown and persist to the next year; adaptable and hardy
Out of stock
Pusch Spruce is primarily grown for its highly ornamental fruit. The red fruits are held in abundance in spectacular cones in mid spring. It has forest green evergreen foliage which emerges lime green in spring. The needles remain forest green throughout the winter. It is a dense multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub. When pruning is necessary, it is recommended to only trim back the new growth of the current season, other than to remove any dieback. Deer don’t particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats.
