5 Seeds Picea meyeri Meyer Spruce Cold Hardy Evergreen Conifer Tree

Picea meyeri, commonly known as Meyer Spruce, is a cold-hardy evergreen conifer valued for its dense, symmetrical growth and attractive blue-green needles. Native to mountainous regions of northern China, this spruce develops a broadly conical form over time and makes a striking specimen for larger landscapes and windbreak plantings.

Meyer Spruce works well as a standalone ornamental tree, in mixed conifer borders, or as part of a privacy screen where its year-round color adds structure. The short, stiff needles emerge with a soft blue tint and mature to a deep blue-green, giving the tree a refined texture across the seasons. It grows steadily under cool conditions and prefers consistently moist but well-drained ground.
