It blooms pink or yellow flower in summer. It is very fast growing large tree. So people like to plant it for fast harvest wood. The wood is soft, lightweight and takes a beautiful finish but is often cross-grained and difficult to work.

Growth Rate: Slow

Sun Tolerance: Full Sun

ABP Index: 3.0 (Aesthetics 3.0, Solidarity 3.0)

Picea abies 'Cobra' commonly known as Cobra spruce. A full growth tree looks like a Cobra snak heade and low branches rise up off the ground like cobras. It grows 25 ft (7m) in height some time more. It is a evergreen tree. Demonstrating both weeping habit as well as extreme shoot elongation, Cobra spruce is one of the more bizarre appearing conifers, but it is easy to become a fan of this new cultivar. Odd appearing in youth, Cobra grows into its own after a few years. The lowest branches often will form a skirt right on the ground. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. The smooth gray bark is not particularly outstanding. The fruit are cones. It is a slow growing plant. This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.
