Picea glehnii
Sakhalin spruce (Picea glehnii) is a species of conifer native to parts of Eastern Asia. It is a medium-sized tree that can grow up to 25 meters in height and has an upright pyramidal shape. It has a dense conical crown with horizontal branches and grey-brownish bark. The leaves are short, sharp needles with a bluish-green color. These versatile trees are ideal for gardens and can be creatively trimmed and shaped to create striking landscape visual interest. In winter, its attractive feature is its skeleton-like appearance with its partly bare branches.

watering
The Sakhalin Spruce requires regular watering, especially during periods of severe heat and drought. It should be watered once a week with approximately 1 to 1 and a half inches of water. During periods of extended hot, dry weather, increasing the amount of water to 3 or 4 inches may be beneficial. Make sure that you avoid over-watering, as soggy soil can cause root-rot. During the winter months, the Sakhalin Spruce should be watered every 2 or 3 weeks with around an inch of water.
sunlight
Sakhalin spruce (Picea glehnii) is an evergreen tree that thrives best in full sun. The species needs up to 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to reach its full growth potential. During the summer months, when sunlight is at its peak, Sakhalin spruce requires the most sunlight and should receive no less than 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. During the winter, however, the amount of direct sunlight the species require drops to no less than 4 hours per day.
pruning
Sakhalin spruce (Picea glehnii) should be pruned twice a year, once in the spring and once in the late summer/early fall. Pruning should be done lightly, removing no more than 1/3 of the plant's foliage for healthy growth. Pruning should remove old, dead, and broken branches, as well as any excess growth that the plant may put out. All pruning should be done carefully so as not to injure the tree. If the tree is damaged or over-pruned, it may stop growing and die.
