The Picea Glauca Conica is a dwarf evergreen conifer with a naturally neat, cone-shaped habit that needs no clipping to hold its form. It carries the RHS Award of Garden Merit and has an RHS H7 hardiness rating, meaning it can cope with temperatures below -20°C when grown outdoors.
Sold as a mini Christmas tree, this dwarf Alberta Spruce suits smaller spaces such as a bedroom, kitchen, office desk or hallway table. A few things worth knowing before you buy:
- It is a genuine living tree, not a cut one.
- Once the festive season ends you can move it outside into a border or keep it going in its pot, rather than throwing it out afterwards.
- New spring growth comes through brighter than the older needles, which is normal for this variety.
- Growth is slow, so a young pot grown tree keeps its compact size for years before it needs a bigger pot or a spot in the garden.
As this is a natural product, each tree is individual and may show some variation in shape, colour or size compared to the photos.
