Picea omorika Bruns

Picea omorika ‘Bruns’ is a refined selection of Serbian Spruce prized for its upright habit and striking two-toned needles. The blue green upper foliage contrasts beautifully with silvery undersides, creating a shimmering effect when branches move in the breeze. Its naturally slender, pyramidal form makes it an excellent choice for vertical accents, specimen plantings, or landscapes where space is limited but height and structure are desired.

Thriving in USDA Zones 4–7, ‘Bruns’ performs best in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. This hardy evergreen is known for its adaptability, tolerance of urban conditions, and resistance to many common spruce issues. With its elegant form, year-round color, and low-maintenance nature, this Serbian Spruce is an outstanding addition to residential landscapes, commercial plantings, and specialty conifer gardens.
