Looking for a drought-tolerant and unique addition to your garden? Look no further than Picea crassifolia, also known as Qinghai Spruce or Thick-Leaf Spruce. This conifer is native to China and can grow up to 80 ft tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 2 ft. Its broad, quadrangular leaves are 1.2-3.5 cm long and are drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for areas where water may be limited. Its timber can be used similarly to that of Picea asperata. With its striking appearance and hardiness, the Picea crassifolia is a must-have for any garden.
