Hello everyone,
I've grown three Norway spruce (Picea abies) seedlings last year and I still keep them in the pot. My question is: at what age should they be moved to the ground? Can I plant them, for example, this spring? I can't find any answer in the internet.

Hi there from the UK Dominik !

I would say once they are around a foot tall I would then plant them in the grown direct. They can grow around 2 - 3 feet or so a year. They like moist but well drained soil. If all three are in one pot I would possibly separate them into individual pots until they have grown to around 1 foot tall. I hope that answers your question.
