TIOGA COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT – 2017 TREE AND SHRUB PROGRAM
INFORMATION and SPECIES DESCRIPTIONS
The District reserves the right to offer
substitutions or refund payment on
species if unavailable. The District
will NOT be responsible for the
success or failure of plantings.
All species are bare rootstock. Evergreen
seedlings have grown entirely in their
original seedbed and are 3-0 stock, three
years in the seedbed. Transplants have
been transplanted from the seedbed to a
transplant bed. This allows the plant to
grow a denser root system, more
branching and a thicker stem. Balsam &
Fraser fir are 3-2 transplants. This means
3 years in a seedbed and 2 years in a
transplant bed. Northern white cedar &
Spruces are 2-2 transplants. Canaan Fir is
3-1 transplants. Deciduous seedlings are
1-0 or 2-0 stock.
EVERGREENS
AUSTRIAN PINE - Native to Europe. A tree that
grows to a height of 50 feet. Grows well on a
variety of soils. Needles are dark green, stiff, grow
in clusters of two, and are from 3 to 6 inches long.
It is a very attractive ornamental. It is an excellent
windbreak because of its stiff branches.
WHITE PINE – Largest of the Northeast conifers.
80 to 100’ in height. 3-5” long dark bluish green
needles are slender and flexible. Can grow 2’+ per
year on preferred sandy loam soil. Valuable
softwood timber. Can be pruned for Christmas
trees.
BLUE SPRUCE - Native to the Central Rocky
Mountains. Needles are approximately 1 inch long
and very sharp. It requires a more fertile, welldrained site than white spruce and prefers south
and east slopes.
It is used mostly as an
ornamental and to a lesser degree, as a Christmas
tree.
NORWAY SPRUCE - A native of Europe. Needles
are dark green, ¾ to 1 inch long. Grows well on a
variety of soils. However, the first five years of
growth are very slow. It is not recommended for
Christmas trees because the needles drop quickly.
Used mostly for ornamentals and in windbreaks.
WHITE SPRUCE - Native to northern New York
and Canada. Grows well on a variety of soils.
Needles are short 1/3 to ¾ inches long, and
somewhat blue-green in color. When open grown
as an ornamental it develops a handsome conical
growth, which extends nearly to the ground. Used
as Christmas trees, in windbreaks, and as
ornamentals.
NORTHERN WHITE CEDAR - Leaves are
yellow/green in color. Young leaves on new
shoots are ½ inch long and pointed. Leaves on
lateral branches are flattened and scale-like.
Grows on a wide variety of soils from very wet to
very dry.
BALSAM FIR - Native to northern New York and
Canada. Needles are ¾ to 1½ inches long, dark,
and shiny green above. Unlike spruces, its cones
grow upright. It prefers a well-drained soil, and
north and east slopes. It is widely used as a
Christmas tree and an ornamental. Caution: it is
very susceptible to late spring frosts, avoid dry
sites.
CONCOLOR FIR - Also called White Fir. It is a
native of the western US. It grows well on both
dry and wet sites. Needles are yellow/green but
have a bluish cast in the first few months of
growth. Needles are 1 to 3 inches long. It
tolerates shade well and is excellent as an
ornamental or a Christmas tree. Caution: It has a
very deep taproot, plant only on deep soils. It is
also very susceptible to late spring frosts, plant
only on higher elevations.
BLACK HILLS SPRUCE – Native to South
Dakota. Another variety of the white spruce but
some experts say it’s ornamentally superior to the
standard white spruce. Grows to a height of 3060’ in full sun or partial shade. Grows best in
acidic, moist, gravelly, loam, or fine clay soils.
Makes a nice windbreak
FRASER FIR - Native to the Appalachian
Mountains. Needles are 1/2 to 1 inch long, dark
green above and silvery white beneath, and
crowded on the upper side of the twig. It's an
excellent Christmas tree, a fast grower when
young, and grows to a height of 30 to 40 feet.
Likes well drained cool, moist soil. Prefers north
and east slopes. Least affected by late spring
frosts. Does poorly on hot, dry sites. May not
survive extreme droughty conditions.
CANAAN FIR - Native to the mountain areas of
West Virginia. Medium growing tree (1-2ft/year),
will grow to 50ft tall and 15ft wide, and does well in
heavier soils and high pH. Needles are 3/4 - 1.5”
long. Tolerates wetter soils and spring frost better
then Fraser or Balsam Fir.

ornamental tree growing to a height of 20-30’ and
a spread of 25 – 35’. Begins flowering at a young

height and a 30 to 50’ spread. Full sun to partial
