Black Hills Spruce vs Shiny Cotoneaster (Hedge Cotoneaster)Picea glauca var. densata Cotoneaster lucidus SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 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.
The Shiny Cotoneaster (Hedge Cotoneaster) is a dense, deciduous shrub that gets its name from the glossy dark green leaves that turn an eye-catching mix of red and purple in the fall. BLACK HILLS SPRUCE QUICK FACTSSHINY COTONEASTER (HEDGE COTONEASTER) QUICK FACTS
