Picea abies 'Cupressina'
Picea abies 'Cupressina' is a columnar form of Norway spruce, valued for its narrow, dense, and upright silhouette, ideal for restricted spaces, structured hedge plantings, or as an architectural accent plant. Its glossy, dark green, very compact foliage covers erect, regular-looking branches, giving it a formal presence all year round. Very hardy, resistant to wind and pollution, it adapts well to different contexts, while preferring well-drained soil and full sun exposure. Low-maintenance, it naturally retains its narrow shape without pruning. 'Cupressina' is an excellent choice for structuring a garden, creating vertical screens, or marking entrances with strength and elegance.
