Picea glauca 'Big Berta'

Common Name: Big Berta White Spruce, Alberta Spruce

Picea glauca ‘Big Berta’ is not your typical Dwarf Alberta Spruce, this cultivar is a “big ‘berta”. It has the same ‘Conica’ type juvenile foliage but the needles are much longer and growth rate is much faster, resulting in a more open form. A hybrid of Picea glauca ‘North Star’ and P. pungens ‘Montgomery, it’s a hardy choice for northern landscapes. An Iseli introduction. (Iseli Nursery)
