Botanical name*Picea abies* 'Calvary'

Picea abies 'Calvary' is a dwarf Norway spruce, dense, globular and flattened, that slowly develops into a small, compact, very structured conifer, perfect for rock gardens, borders, beds, or decorative containers. Its short, regular, slightly glossy dark green foliage provides a fine texture and a neat silhouette all year round, with no need for pruning. This variety is appreciated for its very symmetrical natural form, ideal for repeated planting or as a miniature focal point in small-scale arrangements. Very hardy, tolerant of cold, wind and pollution, 'Calvary' prefers well-drained soils and full sun exposure. It combines low maintenance, long lifespan and a stable decorative silhouette, to structure small spaces with elegance.
