The Dwarf Alberta Spruce (Picea glauca 'Conica') is a popular ornamental evergreen with a compact, conical shape. Growing to a height of 10-12 feet, it has a slow growth rate of 1-3 inches per year, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as a landscape accent. This hardy plant thrives in USDA zones 2-8 and features densely set, light green needles measuring 6-12mm long. Its light brown bark flakes to reveal a silvery hue, adding to its visual appeal. Perfect for providing year-round greenery and structure!
