Dwarf Alberta Spruce Live Evergreen Tree Conifer 16"

Description: Listing is for 1 Tree 16 - 22" Tall Dwarf Alberta spruce (Picea glauca 'Conica') Zone 2 - 9 Dwarf Alberta spruce thrives in full sun to partial shade. It prefers at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth. The soil should be well-draining to prevent waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 5.5 to 7.0) is ideal. These trees have moderate water needs. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, they are somewhat drought-tolerant but still benefit from regular watering, especially during dry spells. Use a balanced fertilizer designed for evergreens in early spring before new growth begins. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates. Minimal pruning is usually required. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased branches as needed. Shape the tree in early spring before new growth appears if desired. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and discourage weed growth. Dwarf Alberta spruce is hardy in USDA zones 2-8. In colder climates, protect young trees from harsh winter winds and heavy snow accumulation, which can cause breakage. Watch for common pests such as spider mites and aphids. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if infestations occur. Proper spacing and air circulation can help prevent fungal diseases. It grows slowly, typically reaching a height of 6-8 feet over 10 years, depending on conditions. Dwarf Alberta spruce can also be grown in containers, which is ideal for smaller gardens or patios. Ensure the container has drainage holes, and use a well-draining potting mix.
