Popular for Dense, Pyramidal Growth
Why Black Hills Spruce Trees?
A superior spruce tree that's popular for its dense, pyramidal shape, the Black Hills Spruce Tree is a favorite for its thick, uniform shape and amazing ornamental growth. A cousin of the White Spruce, the Black Hills shines with its ability to thrive despite poor soil and bad weather.
In fact, the Black Hills Spruce is the most tolerant of the worst conditions. Of course, every spruce can stand up to a rough winter, but this tree can survive unusually hot summers far better than other varieties. Tolerant of drought and rain exceeding 10 inches per year, the Black Hills Spruce can also grow in dry or wet soils.
And it can last a lifetime. Sometimes living more than 80 years and growing to heights of 60 feet, this majestic tree will stand out in your landscape. The dense, blue-green to dark green needles and full, thick branches of the Black Hills will bring distinction to your yard.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your Black Hills Spruce in a spot in your yard that gets at least 4 hours of sun each day, and choose an area with well-drained soil.
To plant, spread 2 inches of organic fertilizer on the ground in an area that is two times as large as the root ball. Till the fertilizer into the ground. Be sure to go slightly deeper than the longest root and continue twice as wide as the canopy. Place the tree in the loose soil and press the soil down until the tree's roots are completely covered.
2. Watering: Water the ground immediately after you plant your tree, but don't oversaturate. Your tree will only need around 20 inches of water each year, so you may not need to ever water your tree unless there is a severe drought.
3. Fertilizing: If you notice stalled growth, add one inch of organic fertilizer under the entire tree canopy each spring to encourage faster growth. If you do, you'll need to water the ground after you apply the fertilizer to ensure it reaches the roots.
4. Pruning: If you do see infested or diseased branches, you can prune them down to the trunk in the fall.

United StatesI ordered the Black Hills Spruce. It arrived in perfect shape - excellent shipping method. With winter upon us, we are going to wait until spring to plant into the ground, but love the looks of the tree.
United StatesWe were not able to find a B&B Black Hills Spruce Tree in our surrounding area of Easton CT. We knew this was the type of tree that we wanted as we had seen them at the Sabia Tree Farm and so admired their beauty. We were very impressed with the quick delivery and size of the tree. Looking forward to watching it grow and embrace our beautiful landscape.
United StatesI received this little tree very fast! Its about 3.5 ft tall and is PERFECT! Its very healthy and every branch is perfect condition. So many people have asked about it! Couldnt be happier! Thanks so much
United StatesWe were very hesitant to order trees online. We questioned how healthy they would be, how they would handle the transportation, and would they then survive the winter. We were very pleased by how they were transported and how healthy they were. We have yet to see if they will survive the winter. Overall, pretty impressed by them and how fast they were delivered.
United StatesGreat company! The trees arrived in beautiful condition! I love them!
