These trees prefer moist, well-drained soil, in a location getting full sun for at least 6 hours a day. The trees grow slowly but will usually grow to around 30 feet tall and sometimes 20 feet in width. Make sure to give some space between the trees if you are planting multiple.

Black Hills Spruce trees should be planted in the Spring or Fall. Dig a hole at least 6 inches wider than the width of the container or bag that the tree comes in, and at the the same depth of the bag. Make sure to transfer and handle the tree by its base to keep the top safe and sturdy. Cover the hole with soil, and make sure it is firm around the base of the tree. Water after planning to settle the soil.

Black Hills Spruce requires minimal pruning, besides the occasional low or drooping branch.
