Description
Add year-round structure and elegance to your landscape with the Dwarf Alberta Spruce (Pom Pom). This unique evergreen is carefully trained into a striking pom pom form, creating an eye-catching focal point for entryways, formal gardens, containers, and foundation plantings. Dense green needles emerge light green in spring before maturing to a rich green that lasts all year. Its sculpted shape provides lasting architectural interest, while its slow growth keeps maintenance to a minimum beyond annual shaping.
Dwarf Alberta Spruce (Pom Pom) thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil and regular moisture. Hardy in Zones 4 to 8, it grows to approximately 6 feet tall and 2 feet wide. Annual pruning helps maintain its signature pom pom form, and winter protection is recommended in exposed locations to prevent needle burn. This long-lived evergreen is an excellent choice for adding formal beauty and texture to the landscape.
