Black Hills Spruce vs Meyers SprucePicea glauca var. densata Picea meyeri SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2018) SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2018) 
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. Meyer's Spruce is a popular accent tree with a distinctive and refined pyramidal form. This tree resembles Colorado Spruce with its flaking bark and bluish-green needles. Meyer's Spruce can tolerate very dry conditions. This species is deer resistant.
