WHITE SPRUCE:
My New
Favorite kind of spruce tree, we
have nice White Spruce trees dug for planting, ~3' - 5' tall.
I think
these are nicer, fuller trees than Norway or Blue Spruce.
Short
softer green needles. but they also drop their needles pretty bad when you
cut them, so I don't recommend cutting them till after
December 15.
IMPORTANT
NOTE - White spruce are the worst for
dropping needles after they are cut or dug. It
doesn't seem to affect the long term survivability for B&B (dug)
trees. In fact, my guess is that losing a few needles might actually
increase their survivability by helping to balance the root
: shoot ratio (only click this root
: shoot ration link if you have way, way too much time on your hands,
cause it has way too much information for practical purposes here) after
we cut so many roots digging them, so a little less green on op prolly
helps for the first year while the tiny feeder roots catch up so they can
support the top of the tree.
Choose & Cut $65 each, up to 10'+ tall. Limited supply. Best
to wait till December 15 to cut and buy a spare vacuum cleaner bag
since they drop needles bad.
