Picea glauca 'Conica'
White Spruce
Dwarf Alberta Spruce (Picea glauca ‘Conica’) forms a dense green cone with fine needles and a closely packed branching pattern. Its balanced shape gives an entrance or small garden a familiar, formal evergreen accent.
The tree grows slowly but continues to enlarge over time. It can stand alone, repeat along a border, or be grown in a suitably large container. The compact foliage benefits from consistent moisture, and summer inspection helps catch mite damage before it spreads.
Provide sun and consistent moisture while the plant establishes. Give the roots good drainage and allow space for continued growth.
