HILL EVERGREENS 
Black Hills Spruce 
Black Hills Spruce 
A slow-growing Spruce of extremely symmetrical 
and compact habit. A native of the Black Hills of 
South Dakota where it thrives under severe condi¬ 
tions of weather. Of extreme hardiness and long 
lived, it has proven to be one of the most popular of 
the Spruces. The foliage varies from green to bluish 
tint. Occasional specimens are as blue as the Colo¬ 
rado Spruce. It is not a tall grower, generally not 
reaching more than 25 feet, with a spread of 10 or 
12 feet of branches, but as it grows so slow it can 
remain in close quarters for several years.
