Field Guide

The Serbian Spruce (Picea omorika) is a beautiful evergreen tree native to the Balkan Peninsula. It is known for its slender form and striking blue-green needles.

Size and Shape:

Serbian Spruces are medium-sized evergreen trees, typically reaching heights of 50 to 90 feet when fully mature.
They have a narrow, columnar shape with a straight trunk and branches that are slightly pendulous, especially towards the ends.
The overall form of the tree is elegant and slender.

Needles:

The needles of Serbian Spruce are unique and visually striking. They are arranged in a spiral pattern along the branches.
The needles have a flattened appearance, measuring around 0.5 to 1 inch in length.
They are dark green on the upper side and have two white stomatal bands on the underside, creating a beautiful contrast.

Cones:

They produce small, cylindrical cones that are around 1.5 to 3 inches long.
The cones are initially green and eventually mature to a reddish-brown or dark brown color.
They hang down from the branches and persist on the tree for several years.

Bark:

The bark of Serbian Spruce is typically smooth and grayish-brown, with small resin blisters present on younger trees.
As the tree ages, the bark becomes rougher and develops shallow furrows.

Origin:

Serbian Spruces are native to the Balkan Peninsula, particularly Serbia and Bosnia.
They are also cultivated and can be found in gardens, parks, and arboretums in various parts of the world.
