Southern heat can provide challenges for many types of needled evergreens including spruce trees. We have worked extensively for many years with spruce and have identified several varieties that handle Southern heat well.
Weeping Alaska Cedar
This Pacific Northwest native does surprisingly well in our Southern climate. We use these to accent and soften high vertical architectural features as well as standalone specimen focal points. We work closely with our Oregon growers to obtain the best quality material for our clients. Weeping Alaska Cedar is quite drought and heat tolerant once established. It prefers sunny and well-drained locations. Availability is limited and is special order only.
