The green beauty will decorate the garden, but will bring a lot of trouble to the owners of the site.

Experienced gardeners try to learn as much information about the plant as possible before planting new trees in order to avoid unwanted consequences.

Some even go deep into superstitions. As for the spruce, there are enough disadvantages in this case without folk signs.

The tree will reduce the amount of sunlight on the site. Spruce grows up to 10-15 m. Not all plants grow in the shade, so there will be problems with flowers and shrubs due to poor lighting.

The spruce likes to grow not only in height, but also in width. Over time, it will take over a solid area, where neither a garden bed nor a flower bed will be possible.

Experienced gardeners advise planting the Canadian conical spruce. It grows less than 2 m, so its presence will not create big problems for other crops.

Thus, when planting any tree on your site, you need to imagine what it will be like in 10-15 years. Already at this stage, you can make a more informed decision and avoid problems in the future.
