Dwarf Alberta Spruce Live Plant – Conical Evergreen Tree – Green Shrub – 20 to 25 inch Height

Dwarf Alberta Spruce: The Perfect Miniature Evergreen

The Dwarf Alberta Spruce is a beloved evergreen conifer known for its classic pyramidal shape, resembling a miniature Christmas tree. Rarely exceeding 8 feet in height, this dwarf variety is related to spruce trees that can grow much taller. Its compact size and slow growth rate (2-4 inches per year) make it an ideal choice for various landscaping applications.

One of the most popular landscape ideas for the Dwarf Alberta Spruce is its use in foundation plantings. It’s also commonly used as a large shrub or a small specimen tree. The aromatic green needles, approximately 1/2 inch long, add to its appeal. Its tight, densely-packed growth habit gives it a distinctive “fuzzy” look, making it a visually interesting addition to any garden.

Unlike its larger white spruce relatives, the Dwarf Alberta Spruce rarely produces cones. While planting seeds is possible in late spring or early fall, propagation is not guaranteed. This tree is often kept in containers as a young shrub and decorated with Christmas tree ornaments and holiday ribbons during the winter months, bringing a festive touch to your home.

Benefits of the Dwarf Alberta Spruce:

• Classic pyramidal shape
• Slow growth rate, ideal for small spaces
• Aromatic green needles
