Picea abies 'REL'
Picea abies 'R.E.L.', known as 'R.E.L.' Norway Spruce, is a dwarf conifer prized for its very compact habit and dense texture. This variety forms a small, rounded to slightly conical shrub that fits perfectly into rock gardens, dwarf conifer beds, and alpine gardens. Its short, dark green needles are arranged very tightly on the branches, creating a thick, uniform foliage that remains decorative all year round. Thanks to its slow growth, this spruce maintains its regular and compact silhouette for a long time without requiring significant pruning. Very hardy and durable, it tolerates cold climates and ordinary well-drained soils well, while preferring full sun locations to maintain dense growth and beautiful foliage coloration.
