Picea abies Pusch #3

The small, slow-growing conifer is a witch’s broom from P.a. ‘Acrocona’ that produces loads of bright red cones on many short branches in spring. The tiny cones brown as they age, but continue to decorate the irregular, dwarf variety year-round. Globose when young, the small spruce develops an upright broad shape with maturity. Its very hardy and grows well in full sun or part shade. Deer usually resist.
