Picea breweriana--Brewer's Spruce
Hardiness Zones: 5 to 6
Height: 100 ft Spread: 35 ft Form: pyramidal
Type: narrow-leaved evergreen tree
Annual Growth Rate: less than 12 inches
Comments: Brewer's Spruce is native to the Pacific
Northwest. There it can be found at in the cooler, higher
elevations. The tree does not appear to be very successful
outside this region. The drooping branches (Vis. 1) on
mature trees are quite long and give the tree a graceful
appearance. Young trees have ascending branches and
gradually change to the more drooping habit with age.
