Montgomery Spruce
Product Code: smont
Picea pungens 'Montgomery'
Details
NEW! The Montgomery spruce (sometimes sold as 'R.H. Montgomery') is a slow-growing dwarf cultivar with a broad cone shape that grows 2-3' tall over 8 years with a similar spread. Like all plants without proper maintenance, such as pruning they may eventually reach 6-8'+ in height unless pruned shorter. This gorgeous evergreen features the classic, attractive silvery blue needles. Excellent specimen or accent for rock gardens or foundations. Also may be grown as a hedge, though the blue needle color is sometimes difficult to integrate into the landscape in large doses.
| Since we grow all of our nursery stock our availability changes every year.The sizes listed below are not available for every product we offer and may differ depending on time year shipped. For example, perennials will usually only be offered in a #1 container size. Since we are a northern grown nursery our product may differ in size to other plants in your area depending on time of year it ships. Our larger nursery stock like evergreens and shade trees will usually come in large B&B (balled & burlap) sizes only. | ||||
