Native to western China, it develops into a striking specimen tree over time, making it a rewarding choice for gardeners who appreciate long-lived structural plants in the landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\nDragon Spruce works well as a focal point, windbreak, or grouped planting in larger gardens and conifer collections. Its conical silhouette and cold tolerance suit temperate landscapes, and it can also be grown as a container specimen when young. Growth is slow to moderate, eventually forming a tall, stately tree with pendulous cones appearing on mature specimens.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Picea asperata\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Evergreen conifer\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, dense, pyramidal\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, loamy, slightly acidic\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 5-8\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Cold stratification recommended; surface sow, lightly press into soil, keep moist\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Sow indoors or in cold frame; patience required as germination can be slow and uneven\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 15-20 feet between trees\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Slow-growing at first; prefers cool climates and consistent moisture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663254716552,"sku":"EXGA-844","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_11d2a01d-a738-40ee-adaf-229782677419.png?v=1791896325","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-picea-asperata-dragon-spruce-evergreen-ornamental-tree","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
