Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Dwarf Alberta Spruce is the quintessential cone-shaped evergreen. Slow growing to 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide (though I have seen some very old ones that are nearly 10 feet), it forms a dense, cone-ish evergreen statement in the landscape. Use as an accent, or to contrast more natural or informally-shaped plants. There are some named cultivars available, distinguished by needle length, height, and other characteristics.
