Caring for your Dwarf Alberta Spruce
- Dwarf Alberta Spruce tolerate a wide range of well-drained soils and they thrive in areas with cold winters and cool summer areas. Plant a few feet from structures to allow proper air circulation as Dwarf Alberta Spruce are densely needled.
- Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Water regularly once established and in extreme heat or when in a container, check often.
- Fertilize before the new, bright green growth begins in spring.
- Prune topiary forms regularly to maintain shape. Pruning should be done in late winter.
