Description

The Oriental Spruce, or Picea orientalis, is a majestic evergreen tree native to the Caucasus Mountains and northeastern Turkey. Known for its dense, dark green foliage and graceful, pyramidal shape, it is a popular choice for ornamental landscapes and large gardens. Its needles are shorter and softer than those of other spruce species, making it an attractive and tactile addition to any garden.
