Picea Breweriana dawn

The Picea Breweriana is a rare Picea from the northwestern USA. It's one of the most beautiful conifers of the world. Such a winter with much snow and very low temperatures is not a problem. dendro.cnre.vt.edu/dendrology/syllabus/factsheet.cfm?ID=446 Drought is far more dangerous. I had to watch carefully for sufficient water supply during the very long 2003 drought and the even more dangerous drought of summer 2009, just after it was badly wounded by a hailstorm. I treated it with cooper sulfate, watched again for sufficient water supply, protected hundreds of wounds and the Breweriana is still standing.
