The "Dwarf Alberta Spruce" (Picea glauca 'Conica') is a popular evergreen shrub celebrated for its compact size and conical form. Here are key features and information about the Dwarf Alberta Spruce:

  1. Size: Reaches a mature height of about 6 to 8 feet. Slow-growing, taking many years to reach full size.

  2. Foliage: The needles are dense, short, and bright green. Gives the plant a soft, feathery appearance.

  3. Form: Maintains a conical or pyramidal shape. Retains a neat and symmetrical form without extensive pruning.

  4. Growth Rate: Slow-growing, contributing to its compact size and longevity.

  5. Sun Requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Exhibits more compact and dense growth in full sun.

  6. Soil: Requires well-drained soil. Tolerates various soil types but prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil.

  7. Hardiness: Hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 2 to 8.

  8. Landscape Use: Used as a specimen plant in small gardens, rock gardens, or as a focal point. Suitable for container planting on patios or near entrances.

  9. Care and Pruning: Minimal pruning is required; if desired, prune in early spring before new growth begins. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, is important for establishment and ongoing health.

  10. Disease Resistance: Generally resistant to most pests and diseases when grown in appropriate conditions.

  11. Winter Interest: Provides year-round interest with its evergreen nature. The compact form is particularly attractive in winter landscapes.

Dwarf Alberta Spruce is a versatile and attractive shrub that adds a touch of elegance to various garden settings. Due to its slow growth, it can be a long-lived and low-maintenance addition to the landscape. When planting, consider its ultimate size, sunlight requirements, and well-draining soil for optimal health and performance.
