Picea abies
Choose Norway Spruce when you need a fast evergreen screen or windbreak on a roomy property; its main strength is speed, and the tradeoff is size—it will outgrow tight yards and foundation beds.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | It gives a property a strong evergreen backdrop when it has room to mature. |
| Growth Rate | A | It is one of the faster screening evergreens we'd recommend for northern properties. |
| Maintenance | B+ | It usually needs little pruning, but the lower branches need space and should not be crowded. |
| 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 | D | It becomes too broad and tall for tight yards, walkways, and foundation beds. |
| Screening Value | A | It fills in well for privacy and wind reduction when planned as a natural screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Norway Spruce for back property lines, larger side yards, and windbreaks—not near the house. Give it room from day one, because pruning cannot turn it into a narrow evergreen.

Faster than most spruces, but not instantly; watering and soil prep matter early.
Not realistically; choose Columnar Norway Spruce (Cupressina) for a tighter footprint.
Deer usually leave established spruce alone, though young plants can be nibbled where pressure is high.

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!
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!

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