Dwarf Papoose Sitka Spruce Tree Form

The Papoose Sitka Spruce is a wonderful globe of tightly-packed stems, covered in short, silver-blue needles. It grows slowly, so it has been attached to a short trunk to lift it of the ground and form a miniature tree, which shows it off so much better in your garden or in a pot, while it is still young. In time it will become a globe, measuring 3 to 5 feet across. Use it in containers as a specimen, as an accent in a small garden bed, or as part of a collection of dwarf and unique evergreens. This gorgeous little plant will win your heart and ask nothing special in return. When you consider that the parent tree can be 250 feet tall, this miniature beauty is a natural miracle.

• Perfect globe of silver-blue foliage on a short trunk
• Great small accent plant for small places, and in pots
• Never needs clipping to always look perfect
• Grows well in moist, well-drained soil
• Slow-growing, very neat and attractive

Grow the Papoose Sitka Spruce in any moist, well-drained soil. When well-established it has reasonable drought tolerance, but it grows best with a regular supply of water, and in mild climates that are not too hot or too cold. It is a great choice for coastal areas, and it has no significant pests or diseases. Absolutely no trimming in needed to keep it looking perfect, neat and round forever.
