Picea orientalis 'Gowdy' is a slow-growing evergreen conifer featuring a narrow, columnar to pyramidal habit. It is distinguished by its short, glossy, dark green needles that densely clothe sweeping branches, creating a lush texture. Reaching 8 to 20 feet at maturity, it is ideal for rock gardens, borders, or as a focal specimen. This spruce thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers rich, well-drained, acidic soils. It is notably wind-tolerant and resistant to deer and rabbits.
