Picea meyeri

Picea meyeri - Meyer spruce

A. F. Tigerstedt mentions the Meyer spruce (P. meyeri) in his book “Havupuut” (Conifers), published in 1921. He listed the various Chinese spruce species still missing from the Mustila collection and ended: “which may gradually, one by one, be obtained [for Mustila]”. In some cases, obtaining these species has taken longer than he might have expected: Meyer’s spruce was finally planted in the Arboretum in 1991.
