Dwarf Alberta Spruce

from $25.50

Dwarf Alberta Spruce (Picea glauca ‘Conica’) — a naturally dense, slow-growing evergreen with a tidy, pyramidal “mini Christmas tree” shape. Bright green new growth and soft, short needles make it a favorite for entry pots, foundation accents, and formal pairings.

Key features

  • Compact form: tight, conical habit; great for containers, flanking doors, and small gardens

  • Slow growth: ~2–4 in./year; reaches about 6–8 ft tall × 3–5 ft wide over many years

  • Evergreen: soft needles hold color year-round; fresh, bright flush in spring

  • Hardy & reliable: thrives in full sun and well-drained soil; cold-hardy to Zones 2–6

  • Easy care: moderate water the first year, then drought-tolerant once established

  • Topiary-friendly: naturally neat, but can be clipped into spirals or tight cones

  • Notes: in hot/humid summers, give afternoon shade and watch for spider mites; protect from drying winter winds to prevent tip burn

  • All plants come with a regular black nursery pot

  • Please note: The images shown are for illustrative purposes only. While we strive to provide accurate representations, the actual product you receive may differ slightly in appearance due to variations in stock or natural characteristics.
