Norway Spruce 'Skyhigh WB'
FamilyPinaceae
Picea abies 'Skyhigh WB' is a narrow, columnar selection of Norway spruce, remarkable for its very dense and symmetrical upright silhouette, ideal for narrow hedge plantings, visual screens, or as a strong architectural accent. Its rich, compact dark green foliage, uniformly distributed on rigid ascending branches, gives the tree a neat and formal habit without requiring pruning. Perfectly suited for restricted spaces, it offers a year-round sculptural presence, with decorative light brown cylindrical cones. Very hardy, tolerant of wind and pollution, 'Skyhigh WB' prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure, while requiring little maintenance. This cultivar is a premier structural choice, combining excellent habit, marked verticality, and persistent texture.
