Garden notes
Picea glauca has mild rank smelling leaves. White spruce can survive the coldest of winter climates with annual temperatures as low as -50� Fahrenheit. It won't do too well if the winter temperatures are consistently above 5� Fahrenheit. This plant does very well with hot summer days. Full sun to partial shade is ideal for this species. It does well in moist, well drained soils.
