Austrian Pine vs Fat Albert Spruce
Pinus nigra
Picea pungens Fat Albert
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Austrian Pine is a medium-sized evergreen known for its dense rounded crown and long needles.
This moderately fast growing tree adds year-round colour to your yard and tends to be resistant the effects of snow, ice, and pollution.
The Fat Albert Spruce is a cold-hardy evergreen variety with silvery-blue needles, and a large, tear-drop shape. It is deer resistant, and considered a good choice for xeriscaping projects as it is quite drought tolerant.
The Fat Albert Spruce is a Blue Spruce cultivar that was introduced in the late 1970’s by the Iseli Nursery and is named after the fictional character of the same name.
