Picea glauca 'Conica', commonly known as Dwarf Alberta Spruce, is a compact evergreen tree prized for its dense, conical shape and fine-textured, soft green needles. The 3 Ball form is a unique topiary styling that adds architectural interest to gardens, patios, or entryways. With its slow growth rate and striking appearance, it’s ideal for containers, borders, or formal landscapes. This hardy and versatile selection thrives in cooler climates and requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape. It truly delivers year-round evergreen elegance.
