Picea abies 'Christina' (Christina Columnar Spruce) Hardiness Zone_8b A colorful and open shadeChristina Columnar Spruce is an open evergreen tree with a strong central leader and a narrowly upright and columnar growth habit. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage. This is a relatively low maintenance tree. When pruning is necessary, it is recommended to only trim back the new growth of the current season, other than to remove any dieback. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and
