    DWARF. This is another plant from a mutation on 'Albertina Conica'. It was found in Vancouver Island, BC Canada. Very compact and nice.

    Is a very small Alberta spruce. We have seen the species 16'-18' tall after many years. P.g. 'Gnome' is a slow grower to 2'-3' in 20 years. A perfect conifer for the rock garden or container.
