Dwarf Alberta Spruce
Picea glauca 'Conica'
Dwarf Alberta Spruce is the perfect little evergreen cone — a naturally tight, pyramidal shape that never needs pruning. It grows only 2-4 inches per year, eventually reaching 6-8 feet. Classic flanking an entryway in containers or anchoring a foundation planting. Dense, soft needles give it a miniature Christmas tree look.

Care Guide
Plant in full sun with moist, well-drained soil. Water during drought — it's not drought tolerant. Watch for spider mites (brown needles inside = mites). Spray with horticultural oil in summer if needed. Never shear — the natural cone shape is the whole point. Excellent in containers with annual color.
