  • Description

  • Notes

Picea glauca albertina 'Conica' is an evergreen tree that grows 3' to 12' tall and 1' to 6' wide with needle-like, light green leaves. It requires full sun (tolerates heat), low watering (drought tolerant), and will take any well drained soil. This is a highly combustible plant.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
