Description
The Alberta Spruce (Picea glauca ‘Conica’), also known as Dwarf Alberta Spruce, is a compact, slow-growing evergreen prized for its dense, conical shape and soft, bright green needles. This naturally symmetrical tree requires little to no pruning, making it an excellent choice for formal gardens, foundation plantings, and container displays. Thriving in USDA Zones 2-6, it is exceptionally cold-hardy and can tolerate harsh winter conditions. Its slow growth rate—only about 2-4 inches per year—ensures that it remains a manageable size, typically reaching 6-10 feet tall over many years. While drought-tolerant once established, it prefers well-draining soil and consistent moisture for best health. With its classic, elegant form and year-round beauty, the Alberta Spruce is a perfect choice for adding structure and evergreen interest to any landscape.
