Norway Spruce Care

Deeply water the tree once a week for the first year, but it will sustain itself after that. Fertilizing is not needed unless the soil is low-quality.
Shape the tree in late winter or early spring. Be careful when pruning to retain the tree's natural shape. Remove the center branch growth at points where two branches grow out to the sides to create a full and bushy look.
