If you’re looking to add year round colour and structure to your garden, Spruce is an excellent choice. Smaller, 7 litre, Picea have periodically been available at our nursery in Essex, with sizes ranging between 50-80cm. This offers an affordable way to plant a focal point specimen, create a striking statement or enhance a winter landscape!
Owing to their habit, some of these trees are only available for local/dedicated deliveries or collection. The tree nursery is open Monday-Friday from 9am – 4pm if you want to visit!
Our Top 5 Picea varieties!
1. ‘Blue Diamond’ has rigid, prickly, silvery-blue needles and a strong, uniform shape. Its neat, upright pyramidal growth makes it an excellent choice for creating a bold focal point in the garden.
2. ‘Edith’ has short, stiff, blue-grey needles and a well-balanced, pyramidal form. It’s a slower growing Picea pungens, perfect for smaller gardens or decorative planting.
3. ‘Fat Albert’ has a naturally symmetrical, dense habit and gets its name from its stout, rounded form. It also has bright blue needles that are stiff, pointed and spiky to the touch.
4. ‘Super Blue Seedling’ develops a classic conical shape. Often selected for its exceptional hue, its vibrant blue colouring is a popular choice for adding bold interest to larger landscapes.
5. Picea glauca ‘Alberta Conica’ is a dense, evergreen dwarf conifer with a naturally neat, cone-shaped form. Its tightly packed needles emerge a bright, almost lime green in spring, gradually deepening in color through the summer.
