About this plant
Picea abies 'Cupressina', known commonly as Columnar Norway Spruce, is an elegant, upright conifer prized for its narrow, fastigiate form, making it an excellent choice for tighter spaces or as a vertical accent in landscapes. This evergreen tree features dense, dark green needles that maintain their rich color year-round. The slender, columnar growth habit of 'Cupressina' also makes it effective as a windbreak or privacy screen while being less invasive than traditional spruces. Its refined appearance adds structure and visual interest to both formal and naturalistic gardens.
