5 Seeds Picea likiangensis Likiang Spruce Evergreen Mountain Conifer Tree
Picea likiangensis, commonly known as Likiang Spruce, is a stately evergreen conifer native to the mountainous regions of southwestern China. It is valued for its graceful, narrow conical form and dense, bluish-green needles that provide year-round structure and color in the landscape.
This conifer works well as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or as part of a windbreak planting in cooler climates. It prefers a sunny position with well-drained soil and, like most spruces, grows best where winters are cold and summers are mild.
