Picea Pugens Trees: Picea Pugens is a pyramidal shaped
evergreen with steel blue foliage. It prefers heavier soils, full
sun, and clean cultivation. Picea Pugens will reach a height of six
feet in eight years on a good site. The bark is brownish gray in color
being extremely rough. The branches run horizontally with stiff needles
¾-1 1/8 inches long with a sharp pointed end. The four sided
needles curve and when bruised give off an odor. The cylindrical cones

the most drought tolerant of all spruce. It is widely used in windbreaks
or as an ornamental yard tree. Should reach 6 ft. in 7-8 years, starting
with a 2 yr. seedling. Stiff, silvery-blue needles are 1" long.
Not all plants will be blue. Each bundle will contain a mixture of
blue, blue-green and green seedlings. A handsome ornamental specimen
or use as a dense, colorful screen or windbreak, space 6 ft. apart.

The
Black Walnut is a dependable producer of extra large crops for many
years. The nuts are large and plump and crack out of the shell easily.
The roots of the black walnut produce a substance known as juglone
(5-hydroxy-alpha-napthaquinone). This biochemical is toxic to many
plants such as the tomato, potato, black and blue berries, and other
plants that may grow within a 50 to 60 foot radius of the trunk.
Not all plants are sensitive to juglone and many trees, vines, shrubs,
and flowers will thrive in close proximity to a black walnut tree.
