Picea abies 'Hildburghausen' is globe shaped for many years, but eventually becomes wider than tall. Short, very dark green needles are closely spaced on short stiff shoots creating a tight compact appearance. This symmetrical gem works well in the rock garden or the small landscape where it will stay in scale with miniature and other slow growing plants. Slow growth.
