What is Serbian spruce?
Serbian spruce, picea omorik is a coniferous evergreen tree discovered in 1875 and originally from a small area of about 60 hectares (0.23 square miles) of the Drina River in Southeast Europe. The region has been covered by part of the modern eastern region of the nation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and a small part of West Serbia since 2011. Since its discovery, the tree has been transplanted into many areas and cultivated as a decorative sample because of its archive branching that occur to be more effective in shedding in winter. It creates a pattern similar to the Spire as they rise towards the crown, along with the branch curve, made it one of the most popular among the types of spruce trees grown around the world. In its native range in the limestone mountains, where it grows, it can reach a height of 50 to 60 feet (15.24 to 18.28 meters), but unlike other spruce trees, it has a relatively narrow suitcase, so it seems to grow best when it is protected from strong winds. The tree also has flat needles with white stripes on the ground pointingOn the side, unlike the typical four -sided needle shapes of spruce trees.
growing spruce trees of this tension require precise lighting conditions, as too much shadow will tend to look thin and fragile. However, Serbian spruce is resistant in several respects. Like most evergreens, a wide range of soil pH levels can tolerate, because acidic soils are not supposed to destroy it. Serbian spruce also tends to be extremely resistant to drought, so it can often be planted in urban areas where it has limited access to collisions.
Since 2011, this species has shown little vulnerability against the attack of most common pests and diseases. Some reports report that insects such as aphids, mites and scale may adversely affect its growth, but the occurrence of this is rare. Care for spruce trees such as Serbian spruce, which was grown in the US state of Pennsylvania, but is a challenge because there were thereattacked by a white pine weevil that can disfigure the trees unless it is treated thoroughly.
Planting of spruce trees often requires planting a large amount of space at the base of the trunk because they tend to be relatively wide with well -developed root systems. Serbian spruce is a noticeably narrow tree, but it causes it to excel from the other still green. Its shape, a unique color of the needle and the arc on the branches have made it widely used in botanical gardens in Europe in botanical gardens. Its versatile adaptability of a wide range of land types also helps in its growth in many regions, and it is assumed that it was once widespread naturally throughout Europe before the Pleistocene era, more than 2,500,000 years ago.
