An evergreen tall monoecious tree of pyramidal shape, a species of the genus Spruce of the Pine family (Pinaceae). Korean spruce is a pyramidal tree with drooping branches, up to 30 m high and trunk girth up to 80 cm. The bark is gray (rarely) or brown-gray, flaky.

Young shoots are thin, glabrous; yellow, yellowish-red or yellowish-brown; as they grow, they become darker, by the age of three — reddish-brown or gray-brown. Winter buds are elongated-conical, reddish-brown, conical-ovate, slightly resinous. The needles are green, with a bluish tinge, tetrahedral, 1.2—2.2 cm long, 1.5—1.8 mm wide, sharp or blunted at the ends, with two to four white stomatal stripes.

Cones are oval, ovoid, 5-8 (10) cm long, 2.5—3.5 cm wide; young - green, mature - light brown or brown. The seed scales are rounded, ovoid with a rounded upper edge, the covering scales are elongated.

Unlike the morphologically similar species Picea obovata, Korean spruce is distinguished by larger cones, a bluish tinge of needles and bare, rather than pubescent young shoots.

It grows mainly on the slopes of mountains and in river valleys, areas with a humid and relatively mild climate. Morphologically, the Siberian spruce (Picea obovata) is very close to the species.

Having decorative properties, the tree is used in urban landscaping and landscape design.
