Designing With the Bird's Nest Spruce

You may want to leave at least a little space around this spruce for long-term plantings. While it's usually noted for being on the smaller side, it can spread out after many years and be twice as big as expected.
Once the roots have grown down and become established, the plant will be able to handle periods of drought.
Deer tend not to bother this shrub, so it can be a wise choice if this is a problem in your area.
