White Spruce
Picea Albertiana Conica
This is a charming, dwarf conifer which forms a dense, upright cone of close-packed, stiff, deep green needles. Ideal for growing in a container or for incorporating into a rock garden, it has heaps of character and maintains its attractive, unique shape naturally so very little pruning is required. Its slow growth rate of less than 5cm per year makes it a great choice for planting near buildings where other shrubs or small trees may grow too large. Some people also use them as a long-loved Christmas tree an ideal size for a table decoration, or small formal pyramidal tree. It must be kept well watered in periods of hot, dry weather to prevent the needles from turning brown and dropping off. Its size and shape make it a stunning addition to any garden. Red Pot NOT included.
