Picea rubens ‘Pocono’ – Dwarf Red Spruce – 1-Gallon

An upright, irregular-growing selection of Red Spruce with short, grayish-green needles. The growth pattern is rather curious with main branches growing normally, then later producing a cluster of buds which will produce only tight clumpy growth. After 10 years of growth, the gardener will have an odd clumpy tree, around 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide. Layne Ziegenfuss of Leighton, Pennsylvania found the original plant growing in the wild in the Pocono Mountains of eastern Pennsylvania in 1966.
