Norway Spruce
Fast growth to 150 ft. Dense, dark green needles never get longer
than 1". Thrives well in average soil conditions, but prefers
moisture in the soil to maintain its deep green color. Highly
valued ornamental and timber tree. One of the best conifers for
shelters and windbreaks, as its branches grow densely into one
another. For planting a windbreak, these trees should be planted
6 ft. apart. Branches droop gracefully as tree matures, making
this a very attractive ornamental.

White Pine
Fast growing.. A five needled pine, with soft, light green-blue
needles, 4 inches long . Full sun or partial shade, ordinary
soil. Grows in normal moisture conditions Excellent ornamental
tree for specimens, naturalizing, windbreak or dense screen.
Can be easily restrained to manageable height by pruning. For
screen shear when new growth appears,. It is easily controlled,
and is good for small properties as well as field plantings.
For Christmas trees needle retention is good to excellent. White
pine has very little aroma, but, conversely, is reported to
result in fewer allergic reactions than do some of the more
aromatic species. The needles are very soft to the touch however
and are unable to hold heavy ornaments.
