Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Picea glauca 'Hobbit' - This short, plump selection of Picea glauca 'Conica' exhibits the same likeability as its namesake, Bilbo Baggins from JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit. Like Baggins, the small, reliable Alberta-type is half-size, well behaved and hard working. Tiny, green needles on upright branches give the globe-shaped young 'Hobbit' charm and contribute to its appeal as it matures into a wide cone. Provide ample moisture for this adaptable cultivar discovered at Iseli Nursery.
