Description Mimicking the childhood nursery song the conifer lover will laugh at the broad, extremely dense egg shape growth habit of Humpty Dumpty Alberta Spruce. It is similar to the 'Conica' Dwarf Alberta spruce but only growing 5-6' high and wide.

  Morphology:
This dwarf conifer will grow to 5-6’ in both height and width. Found as a witch's broom and introduced by Iseli Nursery

  Adaptation:
Part sun to full sun, as hot sun might scorch the needles.

  Pests: None
