The Picea glauca 'Kolmschagi', also known as 'Spruce It Up™', is a dwarf white spruce that is a year-round evergreen. It is known for its ease of care, requiring minimal trimming and not needing a lot of maintenance. This plant is suitable for foundation plantings, mixed borders, or as a standalone accent. It grows quickly but does not grow taller than other selections, allowing for a year earlier maturity. The branches are more open, providing airflow between needles and preventing mite infestations. It can withstand extreme heat and drought conditions once established, making it a resilient choice for gardens. The plant is drought-tolerant and does not revert, and it has not been known to get needle cast. It is a hardy evergreen that is resistant to urban stresses and can be used as a windbreak or screen.
