Picea glauca ‘Conica’ (Dwarf Alberta Spruce) is a slow-growing, dense, conical cultivar of white spruce valued for its perfect miniature Christmas-tree form. Discovered in Alberta in 1904, it matures over many years into a formal, narrow pyramid of soft bright-green needles that seldom produce cones.
Key Features
Habit & Size: Dense, narrow-conical habit; reaches about 10–13 ft tall and 3–4 ft wide at maturity, growing just 2–4″ per year.
Foliage: Fine, bright-green needles (~½″ long) with a white-waxy bloom and aromatic when crushed; cones are rare, minimizing litter.
Hardiness: Thrives in USDA Zones 3–6; exceptionally winter-hardy and tolerant of cold climates.
Light & Soil: Best in full sun to part shade; prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils; water when the top 2″ dry but avoid waterlogging.
Maintenance: Low-maintenance once established; holds its conical shape with minimal pruning; slow growth makes it ideal for long-term form in the landscape.
Landscape Uses: Perfect as a specimen or focal accent, container plant, topiary, formal hedge, or natural mini Christmas tree in small gardens and urban sites
All plants come with a regular black nursery pot
