Picea abies 'Kingsville Fluke' is a irregular, upright, semi-dwarf selection of Norway spruce with random, open branching. Foliage is clumpy in texture and medium green in color with prominent buds in winter. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 6 feet (2 m) tall and 4.5 feet (1.5 m) wide, an annual growth rate of 6 to 8 inches (15 - 20 cm).
'Kingsville Fluke' is not currently known to be in cultivation, leaving only a few large specimens in large arboretums in the U.S. A notable specimen exists in the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. This cultivar was first mentioned in 1970 in a catalog by Layne Ziegenfuss of Hillside Nursery, Lehighton, Pennsylvania. Kingsville is a small town in western Pennsylvania, possibly the place where the aberrant clone was found.
Plants seen listed or labeled as 'Kingsville' or 'Fluke' are certainly the same plant.
