Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Picea glauca 'Short n Sweet' - A very dwarf Alberta Spruce cultivar. Plant is wider than it is high. This was found as a sport on Picea glauca 'Conica'. A plant 25 years old is still only 4 ½' tall and 5 ½'wide. Seems to grow faster as a young plant then slow down.
