Black Spruce are a slow growing northern species, common in boreal forests<\/a>, and features dense foliage and good shade tolerance. This species reaches only to about 30ft in height, except in rare circumstances, and grows in a small narrow columnar shape. Black Spruce is therefore well-suited to tight planting spaces where houses and other objects tend to block the sun. It is commonly found in the Great Lake States and the Northeast US, and is widespread throughout Canada.<\/p>\n Black Spruce plug seedlings for sale, approx 5-8\u2033 tall [photos are no longer accurate, new photos pending]<\/em><\/p>\nFOR SALE, shipping NOW thru end of May 2026<\/b><\/span> Express Checkout:<\/strong><\/em> Although Black Spruce is generally a zone 2-5 species, it can do well in zone 6 if planted in a persistently moist location. It is a perfect species for wetlands and lowland locations around ponds and streams. Black Spruce is a good companion species for the similarly wet-loving but deciduous Tamarack Larch<\/a>.<\/p>\n Black Spruce are remarkably tolerant of poor soils and colder climates, and are relatively free of pests and disease. They are a “climax species”, meaning they tend to be the last plants to mature in an area disturbed by drought, fire, etc., but eventually dominate all others until the next major disturbance takes place.<\/p>\nPlant In Record Time:<\/strong>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nurserymen.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/black-spruce-plug-seedlings-2024.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1\")
