Norway Spruce vs Ironwood Tree
Ostrya virginiana
Picea abies
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
SOLD OUT
Ironwood Tree is one of the strongest and most resilient trees you will find in North America. In fact, it has the hardest and most dense wood of any North American tree. Prized for its oval shaped canopy and showy winter trunk, this striking shade tree will make a beautiful addition to any yard. Make sure you do not plant near roads as it is highly salt sensitive.
Note: This species is currently unavailable. Grow your own using Ironwood Tree seeds at SeedTime.ca.
Norway Spruce is a large, openly branched evergreen recognized by its drooping branchlets and large cones. This hardy, adaptable tree thrives in moist conditions, but will grow in clay or sandy soils.
Norway Spruce is the fastest growing spruce we carry but it's not as dense as other spruce trees.
It is sometimes used as a Christmas tree.
