This medium growing omorika dwarf is often grown in tiny spots with hopes it develops into a narrow, compact plant. Well, in the Pacific Northwest, at least, this hope is dashed fairly quickly. Here it grows a healthy 6 inches a year and forms a squat pyramid. Bob Fincham, who has forgotten more about conifers then I will ever know, has mentioned it may grow upwards of twelve inches in the right(or wrong?) conditions.
Here's four years of my plant, originally bought at a local nursery who claimed it was bought in 2004, which makes it about 9 years old now.
2008-2009, Winter. Man how new my gardens looked then.

2010 - Picea sitchensis 'Bentham's Sunlight' nestled in behind it for some late day shade.

2012 Winter. I'll keep it as long as I can. My guess is about 6-8 more years.
