Świerk serbski (Picea omorica)

The Serbian Spruce ( Picea omorica ) is one of the most refined and decorative conifers, valued for its narrow, columnar habit and graceful appearance. Native to the mountain regions of Serbia and Bosnia, this spruce features distinctive two-tone needles — dark green on top and silvery-white underneath — that shimmer beautifully in the light. Its slender crown and slightly arching branches give it a soft, elegant silhouette, ideal for modern, traditional, or natural-style gardens.

Highly adaptable and resilient, this spruce thrives in full sun and tolerates a variety of soils, though it prefers moist, well-drained conditions. It’s exceptionally frost-hardy and resistant to urban pollution, making it suitable for both rural and city plantings. Perfect as a solitary feature tree, background planting, or vertical accent in garden compositions, the Serbian Spruce combines beauty, strength, and elegance in one.
