Picea abies 'Nidiformis'
Choose Birds Nest Spruce if you want a compact evergreen mound that stays structured without shearing. The tradeoff: it spreads wider with age, so give it room instead of squeezing it against walks or foundations.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | Its flat, nest-like form gives a planting structure, but it is more about shape and texture than color. |
| Growth Rate | C | It is slow to size up, which helps with control but will not fill a bare area quickly. |
| Maintenance | A- | It usually needs little pruning if planted with enough room for its natural spread. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | B- | It works in smaller beds only when the width is planned for from the start. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a low accent shrub, not a plant for privacy or blocking views. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this where the bed has room to let the plant widen naturally. Avoid treating it like a tiny foundation shrub that can be kept narrow forever.
| Mature Height | 2 to 8 feet |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 3 to 12 feet |
| Hardiness Zones | 3a-7b |
| Spacing | 3 to 4 feet apart for solid groupings or borders; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants |
| Sun | Full sun |
| Moisture | Medium; evenly moist, well-drained soil |
| Growth Habit | Slow-growing dwarf, flat-topped spreading shrub with dense horizontal branches; wider than tall with age |
Usually not much; light shaping is fine, but heavy pruning defeats the natural form.
Yes, the shallow center depression is part of its normal mature shape.
Yes, this is a hardy spruce for New England when planted in well-drained soil.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
