A dense ball of very short green needles gives Picea glauca var. albertiana Alberta Globe a compact, year-round outline for rock gardens, small borders, and outdoor containers.
Bright pale green spring shoots mature to mid green over a naturally slow-growing plant. A mature specimen reaches about 1.5 to 3 feet in height and spread while keeping its rounded form without routine pruning.
Grow it in full sun on moist but well-drained soil. Acidic to neutral soil is preferred, and clay, loam, or sand are suitable.
