    Their root systems are shallow and very vigorous and will outcompete anything you try to plant underneath. When they get big they take up a ton of water. They also constantly drop pine cones, twigs, drip sap, and needles that make the surrounding ground acidic. They are a bit of a pain to deal with. I don’t recommend planting them unless you have a ton of room.

    Another of my favorite trees, a great host for some of my favorite edible fungi. Thanks for sharing!

    Is it prone to deceases? Is Serbian spruce more decease resistant?

    I have one of these that seems to dying, any tips to bring them back?

      unfortunately when one is dying there's not much you can do. I'd wait and see if it recovers

    I have heard some bad stories about Norway spruce growing in America.
    Because it’s not native to the US it’s began causing problems for native trees.

      White spruce are much nicer and tend to be fuller. They don’t grow as fast as Norway but look waaaaay better when mature

    It's terrible that we plant so many non-native trees here in North America.

      Europe has a lot of American trees too, I dont think it matters since a lot of species are closely related

      ​@@blakespower American Chestnut, American Elm and American Ash trees are going extinct slowly thanks to planting of non-native trees. They can't handle the bugs and disease of the old world trees.
