Buy Shadow's Broom Oriental Spruce online. Shadow's Broom Oriental Spruce is a rare and refined conifer known for its striking contrast between fresh growth and mature foliage. In spring, it bursts with vibrant light green tips that quickly deepen into one of the darkest, glossiest greens found in any spruce. This rich color, combined with its short, tightly held needles, gives the tree a lush, polished look that elevates any garden setting.
The growth habit of Shadow's Broom Oriental Spruce evolves over time, making it an engaging addition to the landscape. In its youth, it often shows a unique funnel-shaped center, adding sculptural interest. With age, it gradually forms a central leader and develops into a broad, upright specimen with strong, ascending branches that give it a well-balanced, structured form.
Originally discovered by Don Shadow and gifted to Jean Iseli in 1984, this selection brings both horticultural heritage and visual sophistication to the garden. Ideal for collectors and discerning gardeners, Shadow's Broom Oriental Spruce is a slow-growing, low-maintenance tree that delivers year-round beauty in a compact, commanding form.
