Picea abies 'Fat Cat'
Picea abies 'Fat Cat', known as Norway spruce 'Fat Cat', is a compact dwarf conifer recognized for its rounded and very dense habit. This variety forms a small, slightly flattened globular shrub that brings a rich and structured texture to rockeries, dwarf conifer beds, and alpine gardens. Its foliage, composed of short dark green needles, covers the branches very tightly, creating a thick and uniform plant mass that remains decorative all year round. Thanks to its slow growth and naturally compact shape, this spruce retains its silhouette for a long time without requiring significant pruning. Very hardy and durable, it adapts well to cold climates and ordinary well-drained soils, while preferring full sun locations to maintain dense and vigorous foliage.
