- Elegant, narrow pyramidal spruce with graceful, uniform branching and dense year‑round foliage.
- Two‑tone needles—deep green above with striking silvery bands beneath—for a refined, shimmering effect.
- Slow growing to about 30–35 ft. tall and 8–10 ft. wide; ideal where height is needed but space is tight.
- Versatile evergreen for specimens, narrow privacy screens, or windbreaks; easy‑care once established.
Bruns Serbian Spruce (Picea omorika ‘Bruns’) brings polished architecture and cool two‑tone color to the landscape. Its naturally upright, slim pyramid and graceful branching fit city gardens and larger properties alike, while the deep green needles with bright silver undersides add texture that catches light in every season. Thrive it in full sun to partial sun and well‑drained loam; water regularly during establishment, then enjoy a resilient, low‑maintenance evergreen for statement accents, narrow screens, or wind‑cutting borders.
Plant Description
Strong central leader with a tall, narrow pyramidal habit and dense, elegant branching. The uniform form reads formal and finished without routine shearing.
Foliage & Color
Short, glossy needles are deep green on top with vivid silvery bands beneath, producing a refined two‑tone look and subtle shimmer in sun or snow.
Form & Habit
Naturally slim and upright; excellent vertical accent for tight side yards, courtyards, or as repeating columns in formal designs.
Sun Requirements
Full sun to partial sun; open exposures encourage the densest foliage and most uniform silhouette.
Watering Needs
Keep evenly moist while establishing; thereafter, water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Avoid chronically wet or waterlogged sites.
Soil Requirements
Prefers moist, well‑drained loamy soil, yet adapts to a range of well‑drained soils. Mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature, keeping mulch a few inches from the trunk.
Growth & Size
Slow growing; typically reaches about 30–35 ft. tall and 8–10 ft. wide with age, maintaining a narrow footprint with minimal pruning.
Special Features
Easy care once established; evergreen structure for four‑season presence; supports birds; generally deer and rabbit resistant.
Landscape Uses
Use as a stately specimen, a tall and narrow privacy screen, or a windbreak. Pairs beautifully with flowering shrubs and perennials that highlight its cool two‑tone needles.
Care Instructions
Water deeply and regularly the first few seasons to establish; reduce frequency thereafter. Feed with a general‑purpose fertilizer in early spring. Prune only to remove wayward or damaged shoots; the natural form is best.
Design Tips
Repeat at rhythmical intervals to create vertical punctuation along drives or property lines, or flank entries to frame architecture with year‑round structure.
