Black Hills Spruce vs Silver Leaf WillowPicea glauca var. densata Salix alba sericea ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2022) 
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.
Native to North America, Silver Leaf Willow has orangish bark and long, silvery grey leaves. Bees and other insects are attracted to its flowers. BLACK HILLS SPRUCE QUICK FACTSSILVER LEAF WILLOW QUICK FACTS
