The Siberian spruce tree, known scientifically as Picea obovata, is native to Siberia and parts of Eastern Europe. Characterized by pyramidal crown shape, needle foliage, and gray-brown bark, it produces cylindrical cones that mature from green to brown and dangle from branches. This spruce typically displays purple male and green female flowers. Its needles are green and spirally arranged on branches. Hardy and cold-tolerant, P. obovata grows best in well-drained soil. Its ornamental qualities and adaptability make it favored for landscaping and reforestation. Mature tree height varies with conditions from 50-100 feet. Relatively easy to cultivate and maintain, the Siberian spruce remains a popular choice for gardeners and foresters.
