Picea abies 'Kluis' is an irregularly shaped dwarf selection of Norway spruce with globose shape when young and later developing a leader, eventually becoming a small upright tree. Needles are dark green, short for the species, branches grow to varying lengths and density, and buds are numerous. This plant is a perfect selection for a gardener looking for "something unusual" in the landscape.
According to Larry Stanley of Stanley & Sons Nursery, Boring, Oregon, 'Kluis' was discovered, first propagated and introduced to the nursery trade around 1970 by Rudy Kluis of Marlboro, New Jersey.
