Dwarf Alberta Spruce (Picea glauca ‘Conica’) stands out with its neat, conical shape and tiny, bright-green needles that bring year-round texture to any setting. Maturing at roughly 6 to 10 feet, it grows slowly and stays compact, making it a popular choice for smaller gardens or decorative containers. The densely packed foliage gives it a fuzzy appearance, and the tree needs little pruning to maintain its tidy form. Because of its cold tolerance and restrained size, Dwarf Alberta Spruce is ideal when you want a graceful evergreen accent that fits almost anywhere.
Using a live dwarf spruce indoors at Christmastime provides a more sustainable option than plastic trees, and you can keep enjoying it long after the season ends. The gentle fragrance adds a soft wintry note to your home, and it can transition to an outdoor planting in spring. This approach also reduces waste and promotes year-round beauty without discarding your holiday décor each year.
Holiday Dwarf Alberta Spruce Care
Position your spruce in a cool spot away from heating vents, checking soil moisture every few days. From January through your region’s last frost date, water sparingly so it doesn’t sit in soggy conditions. Occasionally rotate the pot to maintain balanced growth on all sides.
When frost no longer threatens, acclimate your spruce outside gradually by placing it outdoors for a few hours daily over one to two weeks. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil and dig a hole about twice the width of the root ball. Backfill, water thoroughly, and add a mulch ring to protect its shallow roots. With minimal upkeep, your Dwarf Alberta Spruce will remain a charming evergreen fixture for years to come.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
