The classic Dwarf Alberta Spruce may well be the most popular, familiar, dwarf conifer in cultivation. It grows slowly into a perfectly conical, small tree. It has rich green evergreen foliage which emerges light green in spring. The needles remain green throughout the winter. Its perfect form, compact growth and dense foliage makes it ideal for any garden. It responds well to shearing and shaping for topiary too. The dense needles are sensitive to winter bur and may need winter protection in exposed areas. Grows 3-6 inches a year.
