With a natural cone shaped growth habit, Pinus glauca ‘Albertiana Conica’ is a slow growing tree that is a cultivar of the ‘White Spruce’.

An excellent small feature plant with the new foliage being a bright lime green before darkening to a mid green. This is one of the most widely used conifers in the landscaping industry.

A natural dense growth habit makes this a good specimen tree in a container or in a rock garden. Also suited to growing on balconies and patios or in commercial landscaping applications where a low maintenance plant is required.

Being both drought and frost tolerant this is also a long lived tree. It grows well in a range of soil types as long as they are well drained.
