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.

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!
