Picea omrika also known as Serbian Spruce is an evergreen conifer forming a elegant, slender tree with a narrow conical shape and dark green foliage. The flattened bright green needles have silvery undersides.
It’s a relatively slow growing specimen but with its shiny needles and columnar form it’s a beautiful contrast in any garden.

How to take care of Picea omorika
In general : Picea Omorika dislike wet feet, therefore plant in well-drained soil which has been improved with some compost, you can improve soil drainage by mixing in some sand or grit to the planting holes. Picea Omorika have strong preference for sandy, acidic soils. At the start of winter water the Picea Omorika well so that they go into the winter with a moisture boost. As Picea Omorika are evergreen trees, they keep on dehydrating all winter long. Avoid shading the base of the plant to prevent the lower part also turning brown - it does not stand shade. Do not apply fertilizer until your trees have been in the ground for at least 6 -8 weeks. It could burn the new roots. During Feb and March add some Natural Kieserite (Magnesium Sulphate) on top of the soil to improve the foliage colour, if you cannot obtain it, organic fertilizer will suffice. Picea Omorika require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and should only be pruned to remove any dead and old wood.
