Picea abies 'Cobra'

Common Name: Cobra Norway Spruce

Each example of Picea abies ‘Cobra’, a new seedling selection from Iseli Nursery, has its own wildly unique character that combines the ground-covering qualities of its parent, P.a. ‘Pendula’, with the bizarre, snake-like branching of Picea abies ‘Virgata’. When staked, trees have a relatively tall, straight, sparsely branched main trunk and a thick, ground-hugging skirt that radiates outward with dancing, cobra-like leaders. Best in full sun.
