Pixie Dust Dwarf Alberta Spruce – Picea glauca ‘Pixie Dust’

Description

A fun, truly miniature spruce that is a slower and smaller version of our favorite Jean’s Dilly Dwarf Alberta Spruce. The growth is tighter and the tree grows more-compact than the Dilly. Very fun to grow. 

The Pixie Dust Dwarf Alberta Spruce is a bit different than the ‘Pixie.’ It’s called Pixie Dust because the second flush of growth in the summertime is a lemony white – looking like it was dusted with – you got it – pixie dust. (While the ‘Pixie’ second growth, flushes out in a rich bright green color.)

A fun, true miniature tree for an anchor point in the miniature garden. Think of tiny holiday decorations too… :o)
