I would like to see an update in these now.
Me an my dad we did Norway like 26years ago an we spread them out like you did an now alll of them are touching each other an it also so beautiful to sdd
We have 84 acres in Ontario canada 🇨🇦. We planted 3000 norway spruce. 800 red pine
Do you have updated video to show 5 years growth? Thanks
Great information but hold the camera still 😅
Good info. Thank you!
How far from an aluminum fence line would you plant them?
15ft
I just got a free Norway spruce in mail from a give away on earth day.. we don’t get to 10*f every winter but very close usually 20*f here in central texas.
Norway Spruce performs best in USDA Zones 3-7, though can grow in zone 8 if winters are cold enough. So long as temps dip into the 20s regularly during the winter. They require freezing temps for dormancy.
Im from norway it will not care it will grow and grow its the hardyest tree i know off
Norway spruces i got today . i wantes washington hawthornes amd crabapple trees but Arborday foumdation ran out and sent me spruces instead
I was going to do Serbian Spruce for windbreak are Norway spruce better then? I'm UK Manchester
In in norway they get big like REALY big easily 100 feet and they easily grow 4 feet a year and they self seed. In norway most forest's consist of norwegian spurce beacuse they out compete most other trees. in norway kids like to eat the new yellow shots, eat them before they get to hard, the shots have a bitter/Intresting taste
What are you doing with the camera? Holy hell.
Can we get a 5-year update here, please?
How old are these trees?
Hard to know exactly. Seems like they are maybe 10 years old or maybe slightly younger at the time of planting. They grow 2'-3' per year (unusually fast for a Spruce) in a nursery environment they are pumped with fertilizer every time they are watered, so likely grow twice a fast.
I’m experimenting where I live. 2,200 ft elevation and temps down to -55 F plus windchill -71F.
Would love to hear how they do! Online sources range in hardiness from -40°F or -50°F. Hopefully yours surives!!
Im from new england . any soil needs
my dads house has 150+ year old norway spruces in the front and 2 of the 3 have white spots on the roots that are above the soil and the roots above the soil are becoming mushy please help because i am very worried about the trees
Strange. Seems like the roots are rotting. Might be a fungal disease, because it seems unlikely to be environmental as the trees are very old and adapted to the area. I would get a tree specialist to come and look at your trees. If it is a fungal disease I would recommend a fungicide to treat the tree depending on how badly the trees are damaged. Best of luck!
NatureMan thanks for the reply the trees have the normal amount of dead branches but aren’t showing signs of stress except for dieback and yellowing on the tip of one branch i also noticed a bump on the side of one of the trees that was mushy and covered in white
What is more stress tolerant Norway or Serbian? There was a time in Canada that the entire generation of Norway spruces die.....not the Norway Maple, this one is invasive specie
Does anyone know if the Norway Spruce is what the beautiful trees in peoples yards in NC? The trees that I saw have long, low lying branches that cascade down.
That is the growth habit of Norway Spruce. Depending on your location in North Carolina.. It's probably too warm in Eastern North Carolina, but if you are in higher elevations then they should growth there. It's impossible to say what you are seeing without a more detailed description, or pictures. Norway Spruce won't grow in zones warmer than 7. So if your a zone 8 or even 7b North Carolina, safe bet they are not Norways.
Does Norway Spruce stay up to 5 metres wide when mature?
Norway Spruce will get much wider than that at maturity. They mature to near 100' tall by about 20'-40' wide. Though dwarf Cultivars do exist. My favorite is Sherwood Compact. It matures to only 15' tall by 8' wide. Another great option if you want something that doesn't get very wide is the columnar form called 'cupressina'. It will grow 20'-30' tall but stay only 5' wide.
Thank you. This is very useful. I’m looking for trees that can grow tall and narrow, can reach 15 metres but no wider than 3 metres. I also need them to grow fairly fast. Evergreen would be ideal, but I’m having a very hard time choosing one. For the ones that can reach the desired height, they grow too wide, or take decades to reach a decent height. Maybe evergreen is just not an option?
I’m in zone 5 BTW.
@@jinghoward149 Typically the smaller the tree reaches at maturity the smaller the overall growth will be. If it's width that's an issue, I would really suggest a columnar evergreen. I know Emerald Green Arborvitae is a good option but doesn't grow taller than 15'. You could also try Green Giant Arborvitae. They mature to 40' tall by 15' wide. Best of luck!
Are you okay?
Are there any spruce that have soft needles? Do have any recommendations for soft needle species? We are looking for privacy trees.
Many! Depending on your USDA Growing zone will determine what you can grow. Leyland Cypress or Green Giant Arvorvitae are great soft needles conifer for screening. They also grow very fast growing once established at 3'-4' per year. Leyland Cypress is hardy in USDA Zones 6-9 and Green Giant Arvorvitae in USDA Zones 4-8
Like tp see it up close
The branch n needles
How far apart do you plant Norway Spruce trees to form a nice, healthy screen?
It is best to plant large trees (more than 50' tall at maturity) about 10' or so apart. I have seen many people plant tree saplings mere inches from each other. That will become a disaster in the years ahead, trees would compete for air and light, and most will eventually die. Give them room to grow. Even if it is very open and spread, they will fill in as they age. If you want a screen or privacy faster, you must start with older bigger trees, and not small ones planted close together.
You mean 10 foot?
16 feet is always good.
@@lonefoxbushcraft 16 feet is always good.
When would they start producing seed cones?
Not too old, typically once they reach 10'-15' tall
How much winter chill hours they need?
I don't know what that means, but they do require a dormancy during the winter months with freezing temps.
Ok so I have about 30 feet from the front of my house to the road. I keep seeing alot of info where ppl are saying these trees only get 25' wide but then find videos where a 30 yr old norway has a 60 ft spread.
I dont want it to outgrow my yard. Can someone explain?
Sorry for the late reply. Typically after about 50-75 years after planting they can reach 80' tall by 30'-40' wide. Though a more probable size might be 60' by 25'. It is something you likely wouldn't have to worry about in your lifetime. These trees do grow a couple feet per year when they are young, then slow as they get older. If you have 30 feet to the road you should be fine.
There are also plenty of other evergreen options as well that stay smaller. Black Hills Spruce is one of my favorites. Stays compact and hardy to -50°F. Matures to 30' tall by 15' wide at maturity. You could also consider Green Giant Arborvitae that matures to 40' tall by 20' wide.
Yeah I really wanted something to mix in with my very small GGA and white pines.
I like the way the Norway looks.
Like I said there is a Norway on youtube that is massive and the guy is saying it was 30 yrs old so I was concerned.
@@deliverancetothecaptivesja1191 I have never heard of a Norway Spruce 30' wide at just 30 years. But plenty of other options as well. Best of luck!
Good information but unwatchable video.
Use a tripod and keep the camera stable.
Sorry you feel that way, bud. I filmed this year's ago, but I can still watch it just fine 😁
never understood why people don't plant the Indian cedar never seen a cedar that looks like a mixture of pine and spruce stand so well in drought and moisture.
edit: cedrus deodara is the actual name bw
Not hardy in Indiana. Deodar Cedar is hardy to around -5°F, anything colder will kill it. Indianapolis area is a zone 5b/6a. Means temps can get to -15°F to -10°F (rarely colder, but has happened) Cedar trees in general grow best in the Southern US where it is too warm for Spruce
@@NatureMan1 that could be true for the United states but here in India i have seen cedrus deodaras in Lahaul (a valley in Inida) and the tempreature stays around -22F during the winter in nights it dips even lower but it could just be some other factors helping the tree cause Himalayas are the native region of the tree.
@@NatureMan1 but if cedar does face problems in the northern US states then i know you already have the norway spruce but there is another rare spruce only found in the himalayas Picea smithiana or commonly known as Morinda spruce there are more species too but i don't think they have them in the U.S. even though i love how light greenish the morinda spruce is but yea norway spruce is good too.
@@flaminmongrel6955 We also have many other conifers that grow very well here too. Juniper is another popular tree, several species of Pine, and the very popular Arborvitae common as screening trees.
@@NatureMan1 true i agree we use the arborvitae here too, usually just in private building premises for the screening but we don't have lot of other species of conifers in Indian nurseries unfortunately cause the huge portion of India's territory (centre and south) is too warm for most conifers to survive.
How old are these?
At the time of filming probably 10 years or a little younger. They grow 2'-3' per year. But can be grown faster at 3'+ on a nursery setting to get the trees for sale sooner.
@@NatureMan1 ive heard some say 10 ft in 5 years but that seems like a stretch. Did you raise these or buy them ?
@@mikereber6526 Definitely possible under the right conditions. These tree were definitely younger than 10 years, but probably a little older than 5. I do not own the trees, they were planted in the neighborhood by the HOA.
what he says about were they grow is not entirely true, they will grow in GA!! you frget GA has mtns,and i live in upstate SC i am growing norway spruce now, even arborday and others say they can grow in zone 8!! again, you have to live in these areas to see, we get way more sun than up north, i am am from Buffalo and saying this, along with rain,
Yes, hardiness is zones 2-7 and can grow in zone 8 in the right environment. Though the hot summers and mild winters are tough on Spruce trees. In Northern Georgia it is mountainous and can grow Norway Spruce, but this areas are a zone 6. Atlanta for example is too warm to grow the tree.
Not sure where this is but Austrian Pines do better in lesser humidity areas and higher elevations. Much more drought resistance than Norway Spruce.
That is incorrect. There are so many Austrian Pines in Indiana. The really bad thing is they die from diseases. They survive fine with the high humidity, they just need well draining soil. Either way Norway Spruce is a far better option, at least in Indiana.
It's also possible you could have mixed up the name. Many plants have the same common name. The Austrian Pine I am referring to is Pinus nigra.
@@NatureMan1 I live in the Rocky mountain region with dry air, wind, and less precip. Much less precip than Indiana. Here, Ponderosa Pine dominate the landscape with Austrian Pines less prevalent. They perform better than the native Ponderosa Pines with respect to bark beetle and other diseases. I don't disagree with you Norway Spruces are good trees but if you live further west the environmental conditions favor different types of Evergreens. Ultimately diversity of species is more important in combating diseases.
