About this plant
Standing tall and slender, Picea abies 'Cupressina' is a cultivar of the classic Norway Spruce, prized for its exceptionally narrow, upright form. This slow-growing conifer maintains its tight, pyramidal shape without pruning, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or as a striking accent plant. Its rich green needles provide a dense, refined texture throughout the seasons, offering a sophisticated backdrop or a dramatic focal point. Perfect for flanking entrances, marking property lines, or adding a vertical element to mixed borders. 'Cupressina' thrives with minimalfuss, bringing an enduring, architectural beauty to your outdoor spaces.
Care & maintenance
Easily grown in a variety of well-drained soils, from sandy to clay, but prefers consistent moisture. Protect from strong winter winds when young. No significant pruning is required to maintain its naturally narrow form.
