The following was received via email: Could you please identify the tree from the attached picture for me? Please let me know if you require more information.
The tree in the photograph is almost certainly Serbian spruce, Picea omorika. Serbian spruce is typically narrow with springy, upswept branches (an adaptation to growing where there is heavy snow). The needles are flattened, green above and blue under. In contrast to many other spruce species planted locally, P. omorika is neither pest nor disease prone. It makes a great landscape plant.
