Picea omorika
Choose Serbian Spruce if you want a narrow, refined evergreen tree with a softer look than blue spruce. The tradeoff: it still becomes a real tree, so it needs overhead room and should not be squeezed against a house.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives a clean vertical shape with a lighter texture than most spruces. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows steadily, but it is not the fastest choice for quick screening. |
| Maintenance | B+ | It usually needs little pruning if it is planted with enough room from the start. |
| 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 habit helps, but the mature tree still needs vertical and root space. |
| Screening Value | B | It works well for tall, vertical screening, but it is not as broad or instantly dense as heavier spruces. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Serbian Spruce where a customer wants height without a heavy evergreen mass. Give it room to mature and avoid hot, boxed-in foundation spots with poor air movement.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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 dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
