Meyer's spruce (seedling)
Picea meyeri
Meyer's spruce (Picea meyeri) is an iconic evergreen tree native to the temperate forests of East Asia. Reaching up to 40m tall in maturity, its lush, pyramid-shaped silhouette makes it an attractive addition to any garden. A Meyer's spruce seedling is slow-growing yet hardy, requiring regular watering when planted and effective protection against wind. Its needles are short and needle-like, and its bark is a soft gray-brown. While its foliage appears a vibrant green in summer, Meyer's spruce produces an eye-catching coppery hue come autumn. This adaptable species is ideal for landscaping, adding a classic touch of natural beauty to its surroundings.

watering
Meyer's spruce seedlings should be watered deeply once per week, allowing the soil to become slightly dry between waterings. Aim to keep the soil lightly moist. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. During the first months of growth, allow the soil to dry out more completely between waterings, but do not allow it to dry out completely or become soggy.
sunlight
Meyer's spruce (Picea meyeri) seedlings need at least 6 hours of full sunlight each day for optimal growth. They particularly do best when they receive sunlight in the early parts of the day, from the morning till lunchtime. While Meyer's spruce seedlings can tolerate some shade, it would be beneficial to provide them with direct sunlight throughout the day to facilitate their healthy development. It is also important to ensure that the seedlings are planted in an area that is shielded from extreme weather conditions like strong winds or heavy rains.
pruning
Meyer's spruce seedlings should be pruned in late spring or early summer shortly after the new growth has appeared. Pruning should be limited to removing dead or damaged branches. The main goal of pruning is to promotes a natural shape and size, and to retain the aesthetics of the tree. Careful pruning can help to reduce the amount of maintenance required in the future, as well as aiding in the health of the tree. If pruning is necessary for corrective purposes, it should be done carefully and only in the areas needed. Generally, only light pruning is required.
