SHERWOOD NURSERY CO., Portland, Oregon == 
Picea excelsa sherwoodi (Sherwood's Multnomah Spruce) 
A spruce that is new and entirely different. It may be described as being 
compact but of irregular, flattened, globe like habit of growth. The parent 
tree which is 45 to 50 years of age is 5 feet tall and 10 feet across. It is at its 
best with little or no pruning. The outstanding individuality of this hardy 
spruce makes it admirably fitted for naturalistic and picturesque plantings. 
The irregular outline gives it a rugged appearance. Few trees in our nursery 
attract more attention than the thick growing parent tree.
