Picea glauca Pixie Dust Z: 2-7 Tiny pyramid white spruce. In spring the rounded buds produce short dark-green needles with a blue-green cast. Then comes the midsummer magic of new lemon-yellow growth which makes a dramatic contrast to the older darker foliage. Expect this miniature to be approximately 18" tall x 10" wide in 10 years. Excellent for all small landscapes including Garden RR. Perfect for containers such as troughs, Fairy gardens, or as mini garden tree. Chosen as 2006 Conifer Collector’s Plant of the year. Older plants, gallon container. Shipping size 15+ inches.
