Picea glauca 'Conica', known as Dwarf Alberta Spruce, is a slow-growing, dense, conical cultivar of White Spruce. It maintains a perfect, formal pyramid shape without pruning, reaching 6–8 feet tall over many years. The short, fine, green needles are densely packed. It is widely used as a foundation planting, container specimen, or living Christmas tree. It prefers full sun, moist, well-drained, acidic soil, and cool summers. It is susceptible to spider mites in hot, dry conditions.
