Picea glauca 'Montrose Charm'
Choose Montrose Charm White Spruce if you want a narrow columnar spruce with pale new growth as a specimen or tight vertical accent. The tradeoff is patience: it gives detail and structure before it gives size.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The pale new growth gives this spruce a clear focal point without needing flowers. |
| Growth Rate | C+ | It is not the plant to buy when you need fast height or quick blocking. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Once placed correctly, it should need little pruning beyond removing damaged growth. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother this tree; it is a dependable choice where deer are a concern, though young trunks can still be rubbed. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | Its narrow columnar habit fits tighter spots where a broad spruce would not. |
| Screening Value | C+ | Its narrow column can screen in a tight row over time, but it is not a fast privacy wall. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this as a specimen or narrow vertical accent, not as a budget screen. Give it room, good drainage, and a spot where the spring flush can be noticed.

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!
Good size but tree seemed to be root bound. Tree budding late August.

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!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!
