Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip: 

If you want an evergreen planting to look layered instead of flat, include at least one plant with a two-tone needle or leaf effect. Serbian spruce does this naturally, and that little silver shimmer makes the whole composition look more dimensional from a distance.

Why Plant Riverside Serbian Spruce?

Riverside Serbian Spruce is the evergreen equivalent of a clean, tailored coat, classic, flattering, and always appropriate. It grows with a narrow, upright silhouette, and the needles bring that signature Serbian spruce beauty: deep green on top, silvery underneath. When the branches move, the silver flashes through like a quiet shimmer, adding depth without ever looking loud.

It’s a refined, dependable conifer that brings year-round structure, and it stays visually “light” compared to many broader evergreens, which makes it a favorite for crisp, elegant landscapes.

How to use Riverside Serbian Spruce in the landscape?

Use it as a vertical evergreen accent to add height and structure without crowding, or incorporate it into a grouped planting where you want evergreen presence with a slimmer profile. It pairs beautifully with mounded shrubs and softer textures, because the narrow form adds contrast and definition. Allow space for the tree to develop its natural tapered silhouette, and keep the base plantings simple so the two-tone needle effect and clean outline remain the focal point.

Shipping Delays:

From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

How Does Sizing Work?

The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
