Black Hills Spruce vs Engelmann SprucePicea glauca var. densata Picea engelmannii ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON 
Black Hills Spruce is a subspecies of White Spruce native to the Black Hills of South Dakota. It has a strongly conical form, slower growth rate and denser foliage than typical white spruce, making it preferable as a specimen tree for smaller suburban lawns. It also responds well to pruning, and can be used as a hedge or even bonsai.
Engelmann Spruce is a tall, cold resistant tree native to western North America. This high-altitude mountain tree has characteristic loose, scaly bark ranging in colour from reddish-brown to grey. BLACK HILLS SPRUCE QUICK FACTSENGELMANN SPRUCE QUICK FACTS
