Botanical namePicea glauca Big Berta

Picea glauca 'Big Berta' is a vigorous selection of white spruce with a broad, rounded, and very dense habit, developed to offer a massive and structured presence in landscape designs. Its light to medium green foliage, finely arranged, maintains a supple and full texture all year round, even in windy or dry conditions. This variety is distinguished by its rapid yet balanced growth, its naturally low and wide shape, and its excellent hardiness. Ideal for full hedges, solitary plantings, or at the back of borders, it prefers well-drained soils and full sun exposure. 'Big Berta' combines a generous form, ease of maintenance, and tolerance to difficult conditions, perfect for creating volume, privacy, and persistent greenery in the garden.
