The Dwarf Alberta Spruce is a slow-growing, compact, evergreen conifer known for its dense, pyramidal form and fine, bright green needles. Its uniform shape and small stature make it a popular choice for adding structure and year-round color to landscapes in colder regions. With its tight, conical growth habit, this dwarf spruce is often used in formal gardens, foundation plantings, and containers. It’s also a favorite during the holiday season as a living Christmas tree. ---------- This item includes one 2.5 Quart Dwarf Alberta Spruce (live plants) in plastic pots with soil. The pots will be wrapped in a poly bag to retain moisture and hold any soil that shakes lose in shipping. The plant will be shipped in a cardboard box that has been designed to hold the plant in place to reduce any chance of damage in transit. The plant should be un-packaged, un-bagged, and watered as soon as it arrives. --------These plants ship from the Gulf Coast of Alabama. We recommend that customers outside of the southeastern United States order during the milder times of year (Spring/Fall) to prevent heat/cold stress during transit.
