Description
Birds Nest Spruce (Picea abies 'Nidiformis') is a charming dwarf evergreen shrub prized for its compact, flattened globe shape and distinctive central depression that resembles a nest. Its dense, slow-growing form and rich green foliage make it an excellent choice for adding texture and structure to beds, borders, and foundation plantings. Fresh lime green growth in spring adds seasonal contrast, while the foliage stays vibrant all year long.
Reaching about 4 feet tall and 5 feet wide at maturity, this hardy spruce thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to various soils—so long as they’re well-drained. With a tidy, low-maintenance habit and strong resistance to cold and urban conditions, the Birds Nest Spruce is an ideal pick for small gardens, rockeries, or as a neat accent in larger landscapes.
Each plant comes in a #2 (2 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
