Picea orientalis

Native of the Caucasus, where it reaches much larger dimensions than in Europe, it has a very tall, regular conical habit, with well-spaced branches. It has the shortest needle of the species, dense, growing radially on the very dark green, but glossy, branches. The 6-9 cm cones are purple when they appear, brown when mature. Eye-catching in April-May, during flowering, for its red male flowers and purplishviolet female ones. Very hardy, prefers fertile soil. Plant singly, even in medium-sized gardens, as it grows slowly, especially when young.
