White spruce 'Conica'
FamilyPinaceae
Picea glauca 'Conica', also known as dwarf white spruce 'Conica' or Alberta spruce, is an evergreen conifer with a very dense and perfectly regular conical habit, prized for its formal appearance and fine texture. Its medium green foliage, composed of short, tightly packed needles, forms a naturally symmetrical silhouette without the need for pruning. This compact variety is ideal for rock gardens, foundation plantings, formal entrances, or container growing. Picea glauca 'Conica' prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, slightly moist soil. Very hardy and long-lasting, it provides a permanent structure to the Nordic garden and is an excellent architectural element in residential landscaping.
