Does a norway spruce drop a lot of debris?
It drops the largest cones of any spruce grown here — 4-6 inch cylinders that come down by the hundreds in a heavy year, murder on mower blades and bare feet. Otherwise it is steady fine needle litter building a thick acidic mat under the skirt that smothers whatever turf was there.
How much tree is dropping it
60-100 ft tall by 25-40 ft wide is realistic in central Indiana, adding up to 3 ft a year when young, and it can pass 100 years in a windbreak. Big, tall, long-lived, and almost always planted too close to something — mature Norway spruce sits in the upper removal cost bracket, especially when the whole crown has to come down in pieces over a fence or roof.
