Growth: Fast for a spruce, 12 in or more per year
Light: Full sun
Soil: Adaptable, tolerates clay and a range of soil types; prefers well-drained soil
Central Missouri: Very cold hardy (to zone 3) and well suited to central Missouri; like most Norway spruce, can be stressed by prolonged summer heat and drought, so consistent moisture helps
