Alberta Spruce as Living Christmas Tree

Plant tip of the day - Alberta Spruce as a Living Christmas Tree http://youtu.be/QAdx-Y-EZkE This dense pointed conifer is a perfect front yard Christmas tree for holiday lighting at small city homes. Dense growth means it's also a great screen plant that won't overgrow tight spaces. Use symmetrical form as a single accent, in matched pair or in an evenly spaced series amidst hedges and parterres. Experiment with topiary spirals or poodles for potted specimens on entries and patios, where there's no room to plant. A beautiful choice for woodland gardens or behind water features. Picea glauca
