Picea glauca var. albertiana 'Alberta Globe'
White spruce
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: moist, well-drained neutral to slightly acid soil
- Rate of growth: slow-growing
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Short green needle-like foliage forms a dense, somewhat irregular dome, which will add sculptural interest when used toward the front of a sunny border, or used to line a pathway. A slow-growing plant, the new foliage emerges each spring in a lighter green flush, before changing to a richer shade. - Garden care: To maintain the plant's distinctive shape remove any misplaced branches in winter.
