Description A beautiful pyramidal Alberta spruce cultivar featuring yellow new growth that morphs to white before turning to blue-green during the summer.

  Morphology:
This is a dwarf conifer that grows to 3 feet in height and width over many years. If fact it may take 10 years to fully mature. Young plants are taller than they are wider.

  Adaptation:
Protect from the strong rays of the afternoon sun in order to protect the new growth from fading out. Otherwise it can take many different soil types.
This could be good selection for the grower looking to utilize above ground container culture.

  Pests:
Spruce spider mites can be a problem on dry sites.
