Norway Spruce

Norway Spruce

Picea abies - #18

An important timber tree in its native Europe, this spruce is easily identified by the way its secondary branches (called skirts) hang down from the main limbs. It also has large cylindrical cones that can usually be found in abundance under the tree. Its thick foliage, which almost touches the ground, makes this tree ideal as a windbreak.

The Pinchots planted it here as an ornamental.
