 Brewers Spruce
Although now rare in the wild (the Siskiyou Mountains, USA) this tree, since 1897, has become common in British arboreta. The distinctive hanging curtains of deep green foliage on stiff horizontal branches immediately give its identity away. Its tall slender outline and conical top resemble a green fountain frozen in time. Moderately high rainfall and slightly acid soils are preferred but this spruce will grow in most soil and climatic conditions. A clump of 5 is effective, more than 10 may crate a gloomy sombre environment. The drooping foliage is a snow shedding adaptation from the trees alpine past. In cultivation it needs side shelter to keep its symmetry.
