Himalayan Spruce, Picea smithiana, (Morinda Spruce), Tree Seeds (Evergreen)

Description: Himalayan Spruce, Picea smithiana, (Morinda Spruce), Tree Seeds Evergreen, Weeping Appearance, Cold and Drought Tolerant, Bonsai Himalayan Spruce is a tall, pyramidal, needled conifer with horizontal branching and drooping branches that grows 70 to 100 feet tall. It is native to the Western Himalayas from Afghanistan to Nepal and Tibet. Needle-like green leaves to 1 1/2 inches long, surround the branches and are four-angled in cross section. Tree bark is a scaly gray. Shiny, brown-purple, female cones, to 6 inches long, are pendulous. Specific epithet honors the gardener (Smith) in Hopetoun, Scotland who reportedly was the first to grow this tree in Scotland in the 1820s. The name Morinda derives from the tree's name in Nepalese. Himalayan Spruce is a popular ornamental tree in large gardens in Western Europe for its attractive pendulous branchlets. It is also grown to a small extent in forestry for timber and paper production, though its slower growth compared to Norway Spruce reduces its importance outside of its native range.
